A member asked:

Is an infusion injection once a year treatment for osteoporosis better than taking alendronate pill one a week? my mother was diagnosed with not absorbing alendronate pill adequately and dr suggested infusion injection one a year.pros and cons each?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

A once a year infusion will bypass the absorption problem and is less likely to cause stomach upset. Since it requires an office visit and an IV setup there is increased time and cost involved, and it is very helpful if your mother has good veins.
