Fracture risk following intermission of osteoporosis therapy

Published inOsteoporosis International, vol. 30, no. 9, p. 1733-1743
Publication date2019
Abstract

Given the widespread practice of recommending drug holidays, we reviewed the impact of medication discontinuation of two common anti-osteoporosis therapies (bisphosphonates and denosumab). Trial evidence suggests the risk of new clinical fractures, and vertebral fracture increases when osteoporosis treatment with bisphosphonates or denosumab is stopped.

Keywords
