The dosage of this medication depends on the condition that is being treated.

For hypercalcemia due to cancer (high calcium levels in the blood), the recommended total dose of pamidronate per treatment course will depend on the starting levels of calcium in the blood. The recommended maximum dose per treatment course is 90 mg, which can be given as a single intravenous (into the vein) infusion of 90 mg or multiple infusions spread over 2 to 4 days.

For bone metastases and multiple myeloma, the recommended dose of pamidronate is 90 mg given as a single-dose intravenous infusion every 4 weeks. The dose should be given over a period of 2 to 4 hours. People who receive chemotherapy every 3 weeks may receive 90 mg of pamidronate every 3 weeks.

For Paget's disease of bone, the recommended dose of pamidronate ranges from 180 mg to 210 mg given as intravenous infusions. The initial dosing schedule may be either 6 doses of 30 mg once a week (total dose 180 mg), or 30 mg for the first dose and 3 doses of 60 mg every second week (total dose 210 mg). Once this dosing schedule is complete, it can be repeated after 6 months. For repeat dosing, pamidronate is usually given as 3 doses of 60 mg every second week (total dose 180 mg).

Many things can affect the dose of medication that a person needs, such as body weight, other medical conditions, and other medications.

It is important that Pms Pamidronate (Pamidronate-disodium) be given exactly as recommended by your doctor. If you miss an appointment to receive pamidronate, contact your doctor as soon as possible to reschedule your appointment.
