What Experts Say

Pamidronate belongs to a group of medicines called bisphosphonates, which attach to bone and slow down the cells that break bone tissue down. This action lowers calcium that leaks into the blood from damaged bone, and it slows further bone loss in patients with cancer related bone disease.

Oncologists rely on it for patients with dangerously high blood calcium caused by cancer, and for bone lesions from breast cancer or multiple myeloma, since it lowers fracture risk and reduces bone pain considerably. It is also used for Paget's disease, a condition where bone rebuilds itself abnormally and becomes weak.

Because it is given as a slow intravenous infusion, doctors monitor kidney function and blood calcium, phosphate and magnesium levels closely around each dose. A dental check before starting long term treatment is recommended, since bisphosphonates as a class carry a rare but serious risk of jaw bone problems after dental extractions.
