ABSTRACT

Ibandronate is a bisphosphonate that inhibits osteoclast activity and reduces bone resorption and turnover. It is indicated in the treatment and prevention of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women.

IBOPAMINE

Activation of dopamine

(DA

) and dopamine

(DA

) receptors reduces blood pressure. DA is not useful as an antihypertensive agent because of its alpha-adrenoreceptor activity. However, extensive studies in patients with hypertension have demonstrated that, after administration of alpha-adrenoreceptor-blocking agents, arterial pressure is decreased with maintenance or improvement of renal blood flow.
