There is a new drug with potentially less side effects and potentially more effective than zoledronic acid up for approval w the FDA. It is called denosumab and I talked with the Amgen reps at San Antonio and they think it will be approved in 2009, maybe even early.

Works as an inhibitor of RANKL which is an entirely different mechanism of action compared to how Zoledronic acid works.

Just to let you know there may be more out there!

Best of luck and hang in there!
