Superficial gyrate erythema as a cutaneous reaction to alendronate for osteoporosis

Whitney A High et al. J Am Acad Dermatol. 2003 Jun.

Abstract

Alendronate is a bisphosphonate compound used to treat diseases of pathologic bone resorption. Cutaneous reactions to this medication are rare. We report the case of a superficial gyrate erythema that occurred as a reaction to weekly alendronate therapy used in the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis.
