PATIENTS AND METHODS 47 patients who were receiving treatment with corticosteroids were included in a two year randomised, double blind, placebo...
متن کاملThe use of cyclical etidronate in osteoporosis: changes after completion of 3 years treatment.
An open study over 4 yr has been conducted to determine the efficacy of cyclical etidronate treatment in patients from the community, with osteoporosis and in those at risk who attended an osteoporosis clinic; and to clarify whether bone remodelling returns to baseline values and bone mass is maintained after completion of a 3 yr course of treatment.
