DRUG INTERACTIONS

Melphalan/Prednisolone

Intravenous ibandronate (6 mg) did not interact with intravenous melphalan (10 mg/m2) or oral prednisolone (60 mg/m2). [See Clinical Pharmacology ]

Tamoxifen

There was no interaction between oral 30 mg tamoxifen and intravenous 2 mg ibandronate.

[See Clinical Pharmacology]

Bone Imaging Agents

Bisphosphonates are known to interfere with the use of bone-imaging agents. Specific studies with ibandronate sodium have not been performed.

OVERDOSAGE

No cases of overdose were reported in premarketing studies with ibandronate sodium injection. Overdosage with intravenous bisphosphonates may result in hypocalcemia, hypophosphatemia, and hypomagnesemia. Clinically relevant reductions in serum levels of calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium should be corrected by intravenous administration of calcium gluconate, potassium or sodium phosphate, and magnesium sulfate, respectively.

Dialysis would not be beneficial unless it is administered within 2 hours following the overdose.

CONTRAINDICATIONS

Ibandronate sodium is contraindicated in patients with the following conditions:

  • Hypocalcemia [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)]
  • Known hypersensitivity to ibandronate sodium injection or to any of its excipients. Cases of anaphylaxis, including fatal events, have been reported. [see Warnings and Precautions Adverse Reactions]
