3.1 Therapeutic Indications
Bondronat is indicated for the prevention of skeletal events associated with metastatic bone disease due to breast cancer.
3.2 Dosage and Method of Administration
The recommended dose is one 50 mg film-coated tablet daily.
Bondronat should be taken after an overnight fast and before the first food or drink of the day. Medications and supplements (including calcium) should similarly be avoided prior to taking Bondronat tablets. Fasting should be continued for at least 60 minutes after taking the tablet. Plain water may be taken at any time during the course of Bondronat treatment.
The tablets should be swallowed whole with a full glass of plain water (180 to 240 ml) while the patient is standing or sitting in an upright position.
Patients should not chew or suck the tablet because of a potential for oropharyngeal ulceration.
Plain water is the only drink that should be taken with Bondronat. Please note that some mineral waters may have a higher concentration of calcium and therefore should not be used.
Patients should not lie down for 60 minutes after taking Bondronat.
