A member asked:

Is the fusion injection for osteoporosis that is once a year a lifelong treatment that gets injected every year or is there a term for the treatment that gets stopped at some point? does it have any serious side effects or complications?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Infusion therapy is a common form of giving medication in osteoporosis. The infusion option for osteoporosis is typically a class of drugs known as bisphosphonates. Discontinuation of therapy should be considered by doctors after 3 to 5 years in patients with osteoporosis who have a low risk of fracture. Patients who discontinue therapy should have their risk evaluated frequently and may restart.
