Comparison of a single infusion of zoledronic acid with risedronate for Paget's disease

Article Abstract:

The comparison of a single 15-minute infusion of 5 mg of zoledronic acid with 60 days of oral risedronate (30 mg per day) for treating Paget's disease is presented. The results show that a single infusion of zoledronic acid produces more rapid, more complete, and more sustained responses in Paget's disease than does daily treatment with risedronate.
