Twelve healthy young subjects were administered a single oral dose of 1 mg minodronic acid tablets at day 1 and then received repeated oral doses of minodronic acid (1 mg) once daily for 7 days (day 3 to day 9).
Twelve healthy young subjects were administered a single oral dose of 2 mg minodronic acid tablets.
Twelve healthy young subjects were administered a single oral dose of 4 mg minodronic acid tablets under fasting state at period 1.After a washout period of 8 days, they received the same dosage under fed conditions (administrated 30 minutes before high-fat breakfast).
Twelve healthy elderly subjects were administered a single oral dose of 1 mg minodronic acid tablets.
