Actenol/Fosomax for bones
Does anyone have any information regarding the length of time to be on a biophosphonate such as Actenol or Fosomax for osteopenia or osteoporosis? I am interested in knowing if there is a maximum duration of time one should be on these meds for optimum benefit and minimum risk of side effects such as ONJ (osteonecrosis of the jaw).
