Özet

Objective: The use of alendronate, one of the bisphosphonates that can be used orally in the treatment of osteoporosis, has become widespread in recent years. In this study, we aimed to compare the efficacy of these two different treatment regimens such as weekly and daily oral alendronate in patients with secondary osteoporosis.
