Osteoporosis is a gradual and systemic disease characterized by reduction of the bone mass and deterioration of the microarchitecture, resulting in bone fragility. The sodium alendronate is a drug of a biphosphonate class, being a powerful inhibitor specific of the bone reabsorption mediated by osteoclasts. The study aimed to verify the effects of the sodium alendronate in patients with osteoporosis. To reach this purpose, it was executed a literature review using a related bibliography and scientific articles of Medline, Bireme, Pubmed, Lilacs, Scielo and Cochrane databases. Through this study, it was verified that the sodium alendronate is considered a therapeutic agent for prevention and treatment of osteoporosis in men and women.Downloads
