Pamidronate Disodium Injection

Function and Efficacy

This drug is an inhibitor of osteoclast osteolysis. It binds to hydroxyapatite crystals and inhibits the formation and dissolution of these crystals in vitro. The inhibition of osteoclast osteolysis in vivo is at least partly due to the attachment of these substances to the mineral bone matrix. This drug can be firmly adsorbed on the surface of trabeculae to form a protective film that prevents osteoclast precursor cells from adsorbing to bones and subsequently being transformed into mature osteoclasts. In most patients with hypercalcemia, this drug improves glomerular filtration rate and reduces serum creatinine levels by lowering serum calcium levels.
