Etidronate for treating and preventing postmenopausal osteoporosis
Abstract
OBJECTIVES: To systematically review the efficacy of etidronate on bone density, fractures and toxicity in postmenopausal women.
SEARCH STRATEGY: We searched MEDLINE from 1966 to December 1998, examined citations of relevant articles, and the proceedings of international osteoporosis meetings. We contacted osteoporosis investigators to identify additional studies, primary authors, and pharmaceutical industry sources for unpublished data.
