    Author: Doneray H, Ozkan B, Caner I, Ozkan A, Karakelleoglu C.
    Journal: Clin Toxicol (Phila); 2008 Apr; 46(4):300-2. PubMed ID: 18363123.
    Abstract:
    In recent years, alendronate, an oral biphosphonate, has been added to therapy of hypercalcemia secondary to vitamin D intoxication in children. Alendronate may cause mucosal ulcerations in the mouth and esophagus. We report our experience in two infants with vitamin D intoxication to whom alendronate therapy was administered through nasogastric tube, an alternate route for alendronate administration.
