Bisphosphonates10
  • Bisphosphonates are a common medication used to combat osteoporosis. (sciencedaily.com)
  • Bisphosphonates deactivate those cells used to break down bone and therefore prevent fractures caused by brittleness of the bone. (sciencedaily.com)
  • Although, for some time, there have been doubts that bisphosphonates can be the cause of other forms of fractures such as fatigue fractures, by virtue of the fact that they also inhibit natural degradation of bone. (sciencedaily.com)
  • Of these 59 patients, 78 % had been administered with bisphosphonates whereas only 5% of all forms of fractures within the general population had received the same treatment. (sciencedaily.com)
  • The connection between the bisphosphonates and the fractures is so strong they we propose that a causal connection can be confirmed. (sciencedaily.com)
