Useful:

• Clinical Use: The bone resorption inhibitor minodronic acid hydrate was approved and introduced last year in Japan, bringing the total number of bis-phosphonates marketed for this indication to seven. There are an estimated 10 million current and potential osteoporosis sufferers in Japan, a number that is expected to continue growing due to the country’s aging population. Minodronic acid is the first drug to show a significant effect in preventing bone fractures as compared to placebo in a Japanese patient population. Minodronic acid was co-developed by Astellas and Ono, who are marketing the drug as Bonoteo and Recalbon, respectively.
