Etidronate is used to treat a certain type of bone disease called Paget's disease. This disease weakens and deforms bones. Etidronate works by slowing bone loss, helping to keep your bones strong and less likely to break. It also helps reduce bone pain from this disease. This medication belongs to a class of drugs called bissnates. Etidronate is also used to prevent or treat bone problems that may occur after hip replacement surgery or spinal cord injury.
Applications
Glucocorticoid-Induced Osteoporosis Prevention Medications
Formation of Bone in Abnormal Place Medications
Paget's Disease of Bone Medications
Increased Calcium in the Blood from Cancer Medications
