HealthBoards - Bisphosphonates &
Rheumatoid Arthritis
Bisphosphonates are a family of drugs used to prevent and treat osteoporosis.
There are three bisphosphonates currently approved for use in Canada:
alendronate (Fosamax ®), etidronate
(Didrocal ®) and risedronate (Actonel
®).
How do they work?
Bisphosphonates bind permanently to the surfaces of the bones and slow down
the osteoclasts (bone-eroding cells). This allows the osteoblasts (bone-building
cells) to work more effectively.
How effective are they?
All three bisphosphonates increase bone density and prevent fractures of the
spine (vertebral fractures). Alendronate and risedronate have also been shown to
prevent hip fractures. Studies show alendronate and risedronate to be more
effective in treating osteoporosis than etidronate.
Who can take them?
Bisphosphonates are used to prevent and treat osteoporosis in: postmenopausal
women; men and women of any age who are using steroid medications; and men.
How are they taken?
Bisphosphonates have very specific instructions about how they must be taken.
Following the directions will allow your body to absorb the drug properly and
help you avoid side effects. Because calcium interferes with the absorption of
bisphosphonates, calcium supplements must be taken at other times of the day.
See table below.
Are there side effects?
The most common side effects are nausea, abdominal pain and loose bowel
movements. There is a small risk of ulcers in the esophagus when taking
alendronate.
