- Do not enter multiple findings such as "anemia, chronic cough, weight loss, vomiting" all at the same time.
- After selecting your term from the search results a list of possible diagnoses will be generated. If the list is too long, you will be able to narrow it down by entering additional terms.
- Do not enter values such as "heart rhythm 110" or "sodium 125", instead use "tachycardia" or "hyponatremia".

- Definition
-
Bisphosphonates have become the treatment of choice for Paget"s disease. The oral compounds should all be taken with 8 oz of plain water only. Bisphosphonates are usually given cyclically. Therapy is given until a therapeutic response occurs, as evidenced by normalization of the serum alkaline phosphatase. Patients are then given a break from therapy for about 3 months or until the serum alkaline phosphatase becomes elevated again; another cycle is then commenced.
