The Use of Steovess/Binosto After Denosumab Discontinuation to Prevent Increase in Bone Turnover

Summary

It is hypothesized that effervescent alendronate will be able to maintain bone turnover markers within the pre-menopausal reference range and thereby reducing the likelihood of bone turnover associated changes (rebound effect), after discontinuation of denosumab treatment in a non-osteoporotic population.
