Devitt B et al. - Ibandronate is a highly potent bisphosphonate available in both intravenous and oral preparations. It has been shown in clinical trials to be effective in reducing skeletal complications and also significantly improve quality of life up to 96 weeks. Unlike other intravenous bisphosphonates, ibandronate has minimal renal toxicity, allowing safe outpatient administration, reducing the need for hospital attendance and safety monitoring.
