Osteoporosis Drug FDA Approved To Prevent New Fractures
July 10, 2008 | New York, New York | Vetting explained
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved a new once-a-month dose of Actonel, making it the only oral once-a-month osteoporosis therapy approved to help prevent both spinal and non-spinal fractures in postmenopausal women.
The new once-a-month dose is now available for patients seeking the fracture protection of Actonel in the convenience of one monthly pill. In addition to being approved to help protect the spine from fractures, Actonel is also approved to help prevent non-spinal fractures, measured as a group, namely the hip, wrist, collar bone, arm, pelvis, and leg.
