A member asked:
Does bone metabolic activity and inflammation stop when you start taking bisophanates?
4 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
No: Biphosphanates are not a good drug to take for most bone problems it stops the reabsorption of bone cells that have died in the normal course of metabolic activity and leaves dead cells in the bone as if those dead cells will stop osteoporosis. That premise is proven wrong and the drugs should not be used by anyone. Osteoporosis and not cause be a deficiency of biphosphenates.

No: Bone metabolic activity will continue. It is a dynamic process.

No: Your bone is always doing something metabolic. Osteoclasts build it up. Osteoblasts break it down. Bisphosphonates shift the balance toward buliding. If they are causing inflammation it should stop after you're off the drug for a while.
