In this video, Dr. Doug Lucas breaks down a recent New England Journal of Medicine study examining long-term use of the bisphosphonate zoledronate (Reclast) for fracture prevention. He explains how infrequent dosing over 10 years reduced vertebral fractures, but also highlights persistent suppression of bone turnover markers and plateauing bone density over time.
