You should consult your doctor before continuing Idrofos 150 Tablet (Ibandronic acid), as severe joint pain and stiffness can be side effects. Do not stop or restart the medication on your own. Your doctor can check whether these symptoms are related to the medication and advise on safer alternatives or ways to manage them.
