Major Problem with all Current Osteoporosis Therapies: Adherence and Persistence Fewer than 50% of people remain on any of these therapies beyond one year Fewer than 50% of people remain on any of these therapies beyond one year Patients who are not adherent and persistent do not have fracture benefits Patients who are not adherent and persistent do not have fracture benefits Once yearly zoledronic acid has the potential to dramatically improve adherence and persistence to therapy and thus translate clinical trial benefits into real clinical benefits for patients Once yearly zoledronic acid has the potential to dramatically improve adherence and persistence to therapy and thus translate clinical trial benefits into real clinical benefits for patients Denosumab (twice yearly subcutaneously) offers potential improvement in persistence and real clinical benefits Denosumab (twice yearly subcutaneously) offers potential improvement in persistence and real clinical benefits
