Abstract
Over the past 20 years, orally administered biphosphonates have been used extensively in the management of a number of common skeletal disorders of different etiology. Recently, in clinical practice, in a number of cases in whom oral therapy is insufficient or contraindicated, intravenous administration of pamidronate presents an alternative therapeutic option.
