Calcium/Vit D vs Etidronate and Alendronate in Prevention of Fractures
This study determines that Calcium and Vit D are just as effective as reducing risk of fractures at a much, much reduced cost. Not to mention much less side effects. Seems like sort of a no-brainer to me, but I’ve seen and talked to alot of patients who were put on Fosamax without being given the recommendation to increase calcium intake.
