Committee Recommendations (1)

GENERIC Ibandronic acid tablets 150mg have been considered by the PCN and have been assigned a GREEN traffic light status.
However, Alendronate and risedronate weekly preparations are recommended as the most cost-effective, 1st line treatment options. Ibandronic acid remains an alternative option but is not included within the local guidelines below

NOTE - the branded product, Bonviva, was considered BLACK at the PCN in May 2017.
