Effect of Stopping Risedronate After Long Term Treatment on Bone Turnover

October 27, 2011 updated by: Warner Chilcott

A 1-year, Risedronate-free, Multicenter, Outpatient, Phase IIIb Extension Study to Assess Bone Turnover Recovery in Women With Postmenopausal Osteoporosis Who Sequentially Completed Clinical Studies RVE009093, RVE1996077, and RVE1998080 (no NCT Study Numbers)

The effects of stopping long-term (7 years) and short term (2 years) risedronate therapy on BMD (bone mineral density) and BTMs (bone turnover markers) will be summarized.
