The changes were compared in bone mineral density （BMD）, bone metabolism markers and adverse events after 12 months oral administration of risedronate sodium. BMD was measured by dual energy X-ray absorptionmetry （DEXA） and bone turnover marker was detected. The results showed that there was a significant increase in BMD of the lumbar spine （3.29 %±41.18 %, 4.51%±1.64 % respectively） after 6 and 12 months in the risedronate treatment group versus placebo control group （-0.62 %±0.24 %, 0.48 %±0. 18 % respectively）. Bone turnover was decreased to a stable nadir over 6 and 12 months for resorption markers [N-Telopeptide （NTx）, P〈0.05] and over 12 months for formation marker （ALP, P〈0.05; BGP, P〈0. 05）. The safety profile of risedronate sodium was similar to that of placebo. There were no trends toward increased frequency of any adverse experience except for gastrointestinal symptoms （7.1%）, rash （7.1%） and hematuria （3.6 %）, which were usually mild, transient, and resolved with continued treatment. It was concluded that risedronate was an efficacious and safe drug in treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis.展开更多
