What is pamidronate?

pamidronate 30 mg/10 mL (3 mg/mL) IV
Drug Name: PAMIDRONATE - INJ
Other Brand Names: Aredia
Uses: Pamidronate is used to treat high blood calcium levels and certain bone problems (bone metastases/lesions) that may occur with some types of cancer. It is also used to treat a certain type of bone disease (Paget's disease) that causes abnormal and weak bones. Pamidronate belongs to a class of drugs known as bisphosphonates. It works by slowing the release of calcium from bones to lower blood calcium levels, reducing the risk of broken bones (fractures) and reducing bone pain.
What are the possible side effects of taking pamidronate?
