Abstract

Aminobisphosphonates are drugs that have been used successfully in the treatment of osteoporosis for more than 20 years. Although main registry studies found a scarcity of relevant adverse events, in recent years and as a result of pharmacovigilance, different complications have been reported, some potentially serious. This has raised questions on the safety of these drugs, especially in high doses, like those used in oncology and long-term treatment, as needed in patients with osteoporosis. In this review, based on the analysis of relevant scientific evidence from clinical trials, case series, cohort studies and databases published to date, we summarize the clinical and epidemiological characteristics of the adverse effects of these drugs.

Resumen

Los aminobisfosfonatos son fármacos que han sido utilizados con éxito en el tratamiento de la osteoporosis desde hace más de 20 años. Aunque en los estudios principales realizados para obtener la aprobación de su comercialización no se registraron efectos adversos relevantes, en los últimos años, y como resultado de la farmacovigilancia, se ha comunicado de manera irregular una serie de complicaciones, algunas potencialmente graves, que han puesto en duda la seguridad de estos fármacos, sobre todo en dosis elevadas como las que se utilizan en oncología y en tratamientos de larga duración, como los que se emplean en la osteoporosis. En la presente revisión, basada en el análisis de las pruebas científicas más relevantes procedentes de los ensayos clínicos, series de casos, estudios de cohortes y bases de datos publicados hasta el momento, se resumen las características clínicas y epidemiológicas de los efectos adversos de los bisfosfonatos.
