Measuring bone mineral density during anti-resorptive therapy or a drug holiday %D 2023 %R 10.3949/ccjm.90a.22071 %J Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine %P 173-180 %V 90 %N 3 %X An initial bone mineral density (BMD) measurement is used to diagnose osteoporosis and decide whether patients need treatment, but the utility of repeating this test in those on treatment or on a drug holiday (ie, during a pause in bisphosphonate treatment) is controversial. Here, we present evidence for and against the use of BMD monitoring in patients receiving antiresorptive therapy or on a drug holiday, and give our recommendations, arguing against a one-size-fits-all approach. %U https://www.ccjm.org/content/ccjom/90/3/173.full.pdf
