Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am 58 year old female. since from 2 year i am suffering from knee pain doctor advice me Resica- kit. now knee pain is reduce a lot.now i am having lower back pain since one month. A spine specialist advice me Neorelax MR and Tryptomer 10 mg for 10 days. After that he advice me A to Z NS and Shelcal - HD. He stoped Resica - kit insteaed of this he advice me Gemidro - 150. one tablet once in a month. Please let me know when to take this tablet(Gemidro - 150). In empty stomach? or after meals?
Gemidro 150 mg contains ibandronic acid which is used in the treatment and prevention of osteoporosis in women after menopause or who are taking steroids. Gemidro is a bisphosphonate that prevents bone destruction, strengthens the bones and reduces the risk of bone fractures by increasing the density of the bones and suppressing the activity of osteoclasts which are responsible for breaking bones.
Gemidro is advised to take early in the morning after getting up from sleep on an empty stomach. Then, this medication should be taken with a full glass of water and maintain an upright posture for thirty minutes to avoid gastric irritation or GIT upset. Don't lie down after taking this medication. Don't take any food or medication after taking Gemidro tablet, keep an interval of thirty minutes. Gemidro may decrease the calcium level in your blood. For that reason, take calcium enriched foods or supplements regularly during taking Gemidro and monitor your blood calcium levels routinely.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
