P Selby. Osteoporos Int. 1996.

Abstract

Bisphosphonates have recently gained an increasing role in the management of osteoporosis. The aminobisphosphonate, alendronate has recently been introduced as a new agent for the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis. This paper reviews the clinical evidence for the use of this agent and seeks to assess its place in osteoporosis management.
