  • Title: What is the optimal duration of bisphosphonate therapy?
    Author: Ott SM.
    Journal: Cleve Clin J Med; 2011 Sep; 78(9):619-30. PubMed ID: 21885695.
    Abstract:
    It is reasonable to stop bisphosphonates after 5 years of use and then to follow patients with markers of bone turnover. As long as the levels of these markers remain reduced, adding an antiresorptive drug does not make physiologic sense.
