Diphosphonates

Bisphosphonates/Nutrient Depletion:

  • IronIron: In vitro evidence suggests that iron may decrease absorption of prescription drug bisphosphonates by forming insoluble complexes (16884693). Bisphosphonates include alendronate (Fosamax?), etidronate (Didronel?), risedronate (Actonel?), and tiludronate (Skelid?).
  • PhosphorusPhosphorus: According to secondary sources, bisphosphonates may deplete phosphorus levels.
