Committee Recommendations (1)

An evidence review of Fosavance, Bonviva and Protelos in the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis was conducted. The evidence for Fosavance is limited and is therefore not supported by the APC. NICE guidance recommends alendronate as the bisphophonate of first choice.
