Description

Medronic Acid (Methylenediphosphonic acid) is a methylene-substituted bisphosphonate. Medronic acid has affinity for and adheres to the surface of hydroxyapatite crystals in the bone matrix. This agent accumulates at sites of osteoid mineralization and can be used, complexed with radioisotopes in bone imaging.


Medronic acid is a 1,1-bis(phosphonic acid) consisting of methane substituted by two phosphonic acid groups. It has a role as a bone density conservation agent and a chelator.|Medronic Acid is a methylene-substituted bisphosphonate.
