Q1: Why 180mg ibandronic acid instead of 150mg?
A1: 180mg is the highest approved weekly dose – gives the strongest bone-density increase and greatest fracture reduction in its class.

Q2: Do I still need extra vitamin D supplements?
A2: No – the built-in 10,000 IU D3 per week keeps levels >40 ng/ml in most patients all year round.

Q3: Can men use it?
A3: Yes – licensed and highly effective for male osteoporosis and glucocorticoid-induced bone loss.

Q4: How soon does bone density improve?
A4: Significant increase visible on DEXA scan from 6–12 months; fracture protection starts within the first year.

Q5: What if I forget and lie down after taking?
A5: Rare risk of heartburn – sit up immediately and drink water; next dose continue as normal.
