Bisphosphonates are introduced to reduce osteoclast activity and are now widely used in patients with OI. Bisphosphonates are typically well-tolerated in children, and the standard of care involves cyclic intravenous administration of PA.

Studies have demonstrated that cyclic pamidronate infusion, the standard therapy for patients with moderate to severe OI, influences the histomorphometric pattern of different body bones.
