[see clinical studies (14.1).] alendronate sodium tablets, usp are indicated for the prevention of postmenopausal osteoporosis [see clinical studies (14.2)]. alendronate sodium tablets, usp are indicated for treatment to increase bone mass in men with osteoporosis [see clinical studies (14.3)]. alendronate sodium tablets, usp are indicated for the treatment of glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis in men and women receiving glucocorticoids in a daily dosage equivalent to 7.5 mg or greater of prednisone and who have low bone mineral density [see clinical studies (14.4)]. alendronate sodium tablets, usp are indicated for the treatment of paget's disease of bone in men and women. treatment is indicated in patients with paget's disease of bone who have alkaline phosphatase at least two times the upper limit of normal, or those who are symptomatic, or those at risk for future complications from their disease. [see clinical studies (14.5).] the optimal duration of use has not been determined. the safety and effectiveness of alendronate sodium for the treatment of osteoporosis are based on clinical data of four years duration. all patients on bisphosphonate therapy should have the need for continued therapy re-evaluated on a periodic basis. patients at low-risk for fracture should be considered for drug discontinuation after 3 to 5 years of use. patients who discontinue therapy should have their risk for fracture re-evaluated periodically. alendronate sodium tablets are contraindicated in patients with the following conditions: risk summary available data on the use of alendronate sodium in pregnant women are insufficient to inform a drug-associated risk of adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. discontinue alendronate sodium when pregnancy is recognized. in animal reproduction studies, daily oral administration of alendronate to rats from before mating through the end of gestation or lactation showed decreased postimplantation survival and decreased pup body weight gain starting at doses equivalent to less than half of the highest recommended 40 mg clinical daily dose (based on body surface area, mg/m2 ). oral administration of alendronate to rats during organogenesis resulted in reduced fetal ossification starting at doses 3 times the 40 mg clinical daily dose. no similar fetal effects were observed in pregnant rabbits dosed orally during organogenesis at doses equivalent to approximately 10 times the 40 mg clinical daily dose. delayed or failed delivery of offspring, protracted parturition, and late pregnancy maternal and fetal deaths due to maternal hypocalcemia occurred in rats at oral doses as low as one tenth the 40 mg clinical daily dose (see data) . bisphosphonates are incorporated into the bone matrix, from which they are gradually released over a period of years. the amount of bisphosphonate incorporated into adult bone and available for release into the systemic circulation is directly related to the dose and duration of bisphosphonate use. consequently, based on the mechanism of action of bisphosphonates, there is a potential risk of fetal harm, predominantly skeletal, if a woman becomes pregnant after completing a course of bisphosphonate therapy. the impact of variables such as time between cessation of bisphosphonate therapy to conception, the particular bisphosphonate used, and the route of administration (intravenous versus oral) on the risk has not been studied. the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population(s) is unknown. all pregnancies have a background risk of birth defects, loss, or other adverse outcomes. in the u.s. general population, the estimated background risks of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2-4% and 15-20%, respectively. data animal data reproduction studies in rats dosed orally from before mating to the end of gestation or lactation showed decreased postimplantation survival starting at 2 mg/kg/day and decreased body weight gain starting at 1 mg/kg/day, doses equivalent to less than half the 40 mg clinical daily dose based on body surface area, mg/m2 . incidence of incomplete fetal ossification in vertebral, skull, and sternebral bones were increased in rats dosed orally during organogenesis starting at 10 mg/kg/day (approximately 3 times the 40 mg clinical daily dose). no similar fetal effects were observed in pregnant rabbits dosed orally during organogenesis at up to 35 mg/kg/day (equivalent to approximately 10 times the 40 mg clinical daily dose). both total and ionized calcium decreased in pregnant rats dosed orally with 15 mg/kg/day alendronate (approximately 4 times the 40 mg clinical daily dose) resulting in delays and failures of delivery. protracted parturition due to maternal hypocalcemia was observed when rats were treated from before mating through gestation starting at 0.5 mg/kg/day (approximately one tenth the 40 mg clinical daily dose). maternotoxicity (late pregnancy deaths) also occurred in the female rats treated orally with 15 mg/kg/day (approximately 4 times the 40 mg clinical daily dose) for varying gestational time periods. these maternal deaths were lessened but not eliminated by cessation of treatment. calcium supplementation in the drinking water or by subcutaneous minipump to rats dosed orally with 15 mg/kg/day alendronate could not ameliorate the hypocalcemia or prevent the dystocia-related maternal and neonatal deaths. however, intravenous calcium supplementation prevented maternal, but not neonatal deaths. risk summary it is not known whether alendronate is present in human breast milk, affects human milk production, or has effects on the breastfed infant. the developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother's clinical need for alendronate sodium and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from alendronate sodium or from the underlying maternal condition. alendronate sodium is not indicated for use in pediatric patients. the safety and efficacy of alendronate sodium were examined in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled two-year study of 139 pediatric patients, aged 4-18 years, with severe osteogenesis imperfecta (oi). one-hundred-and-nine patients were randomized to 5 mg alendronate sodium daily (weight less than 40 kg) or 10 mg alendronate sodium daily (weight greater than or equal to 40 kg) and 30 patients to placebo. the mean baseline lumbar spine bmd z-score of the patients was -4.5. the mean change in lumbar spine bmd z-score from baseline to month 24 was 1.3 in the alendronate sodium-treated patients and 0.1 in the placebo-treated patients. treatment with alendronate sodium did not reduce the risk of fracture. sixteen percent of the alendronate sodium patients who sustained a radiologically-confirmed fracture by month 12 of the study had delayed fracture healing (callus remodeling) or fracture non-union when assessed radiographically at month 24 compared with 9% of the placebo-treated patients. in alendronate sodium-treated patients, bone histomorphometry data obtained at month 24 demonstrated decreased bone turnover and delayed mineralization time; however, there were no mineralization defects. there were no statistically significant differences between the alendronate sodium and placebo groups in reduction of bone pain. the oral bioavailability in children was similar to that observed in adults. the overall safety profile of alendronate sodium in osteogenesis imperfecta patients treated for up to 24 months was generally similar to that of adults with osteoporosis treated with alendronate sodium. however, there was an increased occurrence of vomiting in osteogenesis imperfecta patients treated with alendronate sodium compared to placebo. during the 24-month treatment period, vomiting was observed in 32 of 109 (29.4%) patients treated with alendronate sodium and 3 of 30 (10%) patients treated with placebo. in a pharmacokinetic study, 6 of 24 pediatric osteogenesis imperfecta patients who received a single oral dose of alendronate sodium 35 or 70 mg developed fever, flu-like symptoms, and/or mild lymphocytopenia within 24 to 48 hours after administration. these events, lasting no more than 2 to 3 days and responding to acetaminophen, are consistent with an acute-phase response that has been reported in patients receiving bisphosphonates, including alendronate sodium. [see adverse reactions (6.2).] of the patients receiving alendronate sodium in the fracture intervention trial (fit), 71% (n=2302) were greater than or equal to 65 years of age and 17% (n=550) were greater than or equal to 75 years of age. of the patients receiving alendronate sodium in the united states and multinational osteoporosis treatment studies in women, osteoporosis studies in men, glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis studies, and paget's disease studies [see clinical studies (14.1), (14.3), (14.4), (14.5)], 45%, 54%, 37%, and 70%, respectively, were 65 years of age or over. no overall differences in efficacy or safety were observed between these patients and younger patients, but greater sensitivity of some older individuals cannot be ruled out. alendronate sodium is not recommended for patients with creatinine clearance less than 35 ml/min. no dosage adjustment is necessary in patients with creatinine clearance values between 35-60 ml/min [see clinical pharmacology (12.3)] . as there is evidence that alendronate is not metabolized or excreted in the bile, no studies were conducted in patients with hepatic impairment. no dosage adjustment is necessary [see clinical pharmacology (12.3)] .
