Etidronic acid
Etidronic acid is a first generation bisphosphonate similar to clodronic acid and tiludronic acid. These drugs were developed to mimic the action of pyrophosphate, a regulator of calcification and decalcification. Etidronate’s use has decreased over the years in favor of the third generation, nitrogen containing bisphosphonate zoledronic acid, ibandronic acid,...
