Didronel


Pronunciation: E-ti-DROE-nate
Generic Name: Etidronate
Brand Name: Didronel


Didronel is used for:

Treating adults with Paget disease, and preventing and treating abnormal bone growth following hip replacement surgery or spinal cord injury. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.


Didronel is a bisphosphonate. It works by slowing the resorption of bone and allowing new bone to be formed.


Do NOT use Didronel if:


  • you are allergic to any ingredient in Didronel

  • you have low blood calcium levels or softening of the bones (osteomalacia)

  • you have esophagus problems, including difficulty swallowing or a narrow or blocked esophagus

  • you are unable to stand or sit upright for at least 30 minutes

Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.



Before using Didronel:


Some medical conditions may interact with Didronel. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any medical conditions, especially if any of the following apply to you:


  • if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding

  • if you are taking any prescription or nonprescription medicine, herbal preparation, or dietary supplement

  • if you have allergies to medicines, foods, or other substances

  • if you have a history of stomach or bowel problems (eg, inflammation, ulcer), esophagus problems (eg, narrowing, blockage, heartburn, reflux disease, severe irritation), or kidney problems, or if you have difficult or painful swallowing

  • if you have low blood vitamin D levels, cancer, anemia, asthma, blood clotting problems, an infection, or calcium metabolism problems

  • if you have poor dental hygiene or other dental problems, or if you will be having a dental procedure

  • if you smoke or drink alcohol

  • if you take a corticosteroid (eg, prednisone), or if you have had or will be having chemotherapy or radiation treatment

  • if you have a mental disorder or other condition that may decrease your ability to follow the dosing instructions for Didronel

Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with Didronel. Tell your health care provider if you are taking any other medicines, especially any of the following:


  • Anticoagulants (eg, warfarin) because the risk of side effects such as bleeding may be increased

This may not be a complete list of all interactions that may occur. Ask your health care provider if Didronel may interact with other medicines that you take. Check with your health care provider before you start, stop, or change the dose of any medicine.


How to use Didronel:


Use Didronel as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions.


  • Take Didronel with 6 to 8 ounces (180 to 240 mL) of plain water first thing in the morning, at least 30 minutes before eating, drinking, or taking any other medicine. Didronel works best if taken 60 minutes before eating, drinking, or taking any other medicine. Taking Didronel with orange juice, coffee, or mineral water may decrease its effectiveness.

  • Swallow whole. Do not break, crush, suck, or chew the tablet before swallowing.

  • Do not lie down for at least 30 minutes after taking Didronel and until after you have had your first meal or snack of the day.

  • Do not take Didronel at bedtime or before getting out of bed.

  • Calcium or iron supplements, vitamins, or antacids containing calcium, magnesium, or aluminum may interfere with the absorption of Didronel. These medicines must be taken at least 2 hours after taking Didronel.

Ask your health care provider any questions you may have about how to use Didronel.



Important safety information:


  • Follow the diet and exercise program given to you by your health care provider. Be sure that you are getting adequate calcium and vitamin D in your diet. Weight-bearing exercise may also be beneficial to increase the calcium density of bones. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for more information.

  • Didronel may cause bone jaw problems in some patients. Your risk may be greater if you have cancer, poor dental hygiene, or certain other conditions (eg, anemia, blood clotting problems, infections, dental problems). Your risk may also be greater if you use certain medicines or therapies (eg, chemotherapy, corticosteroids, radiation). Talk to your doctor about having a dental exam before you start to use Didronel. Ask your doctor any questions you may have about dental treatment while you use Didronel.

  • Proper dental care is important while you are taking Didronel. Brush and floss your teeth and visit the dentist regularly.

  • Tell your doctor or dentist that you take Didronel before you receive any medical or dental care, emergency care, or surgery.
