REVIEW
 Alendronic acid is a bisphosphonate drug used for osteoporosis and other bone diseases. It inhibits osteoclast-mediated bone resorption. Unlike pyrophosphate, the endogenous regulator of bone turnover to which it is chemically related, alendronate specifically inhibits osteoclastic osteoclastic bone resorption, having no effect on mineralization of bone newly formed by osteoblasts.
