What is the most important information I should know about pamidronate?


donot Do not use pamidronate without first talking to your doctor if you have had an allergic reaction to pamidronate or another similar medication such as alendronate (Fosamax), etidronate (Didronel), risedronate (Actonel), tiludronate (Skelid), or zoledronic acid (Zometa).

A dental examination with appropriate preventive dentistry should be considered before starting treatment with pamidronate. This is especially important if you:

  • have poor dental health;
  • have cancer;
  • are receiving chemotherapy; or
  • are taking corticosteroids.
