Alendronate Sodium is a Bisphosphonate that Acts as a Specific Inhibitor of Osteoclast-mediated Bone Resorption. Bisphosphonates are Synthetic Analogs of Pyrophosphate that Bind to the Hydroxyapatite Found in Bone. Alendronate Sodium is Chemically Described as (4-amino-1-hydroxy Butylidene) Bisphosphonic Acid Monosodium Salt Trihydrate. A Drug Used to Treat Certain Bone Conditions, such as Osteoporosis and Paget Disease of the Bone. It is also Being Studied in the Treatment of Hypercalcemia (high Levels of Calcium in the Blood) and Bone Pain Caused By Cancer.
