Tiludronate
Pharmacology
Tiludronate is a first generation (non-nitrogenous) bisphosphonate in the same family as etidronate and clodronate. Tiludronate affects calcium metabolism and inhibits bone resorption and soft tissue calcification. Of the tiludronate that is resorbed (from oral preparation) or infused (for intravenous drugs), about 50% is excreted unchanged by the kidney. The remainder has a very high affinity for bone tissue, and is rapidly absorbed onto the bone surface.

Absorption
The mean oral bioavailability in healthy male subjects is 6% after an oral dose equivalent to 400 mg tiludronic acid administered after an overnight fast and 4 hours before a standard breakfast. In single-dose studies, bioavailability was reduced by 90% when an oral dose equivalent to 400 mg tiludronic acid was administered with, or 2 hours after, a standard breakfast compared to the same dose administered after an overnight fast and 4 hours before a standard breakfast.
Tiludronate
side effects and Toxicity
Based on the known action of tiludronate, hypocalcemia is a potential consequence of overdose. In one patient with hypercalcemia of malignancy, intravenous administration of high doses (800 mg/day total dose, 6 mg/kg/day for 2 days) was associated with acute renal failure and death.
