Tiludronic acid (INN; also known as tiludronate) is a bisphosphonate. It has the tradename Skelid.

Administration

Tiludronic acid is administered orally. The recommended dose is a single 400-mg daily oral dose, taken with 6 to 8 ounces of plain water only, should be administered for a period of 3 months. Beverages other than plain water (including mineral water), food (see below), and some medications are likely to reduce the tiludronic acid's absorption.
