What Experts Say
Pamidronate belongs to a group of medicines called bisphosphonates, which work by slowing down the cells that break down bone tissue. This helps stabilize bone structure in patients whose cancer has spread into the skeleton and reduces the release of calcium from bone into the blood.
Oncologists in Pakistan use Pamidronate infusions for cancer patients with high blood calcium or bone metastases, since it can relieve bone pain and lower the risk of fractures over time. It is usually given as a course of infusions spaced several weeks apart under specialist supervision.
Doctors check kidney function and blood calcium levels before and after each infusion, since Pamidronate can affect kidney function and cause a temporary drop in calcium if not monitored properly. Dental checkups before starting treatment are often advised as well, since jaw bone problems are a known rare risk with long term bisphosphonate use.
