Description
Bonviva 150 mg tablets contain the active ingredient ibandronic acid, a bisphosphonate used to treat osteoporosis in postmenopausal women at increased risk of fractures. Ibandronic acid works by inhibiting osteoclasts, the cells responsible for bone resorption, thereby reducing bone loss and increasing bone density.
