Objectives: As requested by the Health Ministry, the Agricultural (Mutualité Sociale Agricole) and Independant Professions (Assurance Maladie des Professions Indépendantes) Health Insurances carried out a survey to analyse the use of second generation oral biphosphonates.
Methods: The data, from 3,414 prescriptions, gathered over the twelve months from May '93, showed that clodronate is prescribed mainly for breast cancer (35%), prostate cancer (23%), multiple myeloma (19%) and carcinoma of the lung (7%). The other prescriptions (16%) were either related to various malignant diseases (18 types encountered) or non-malignant diseases (mainly osteoporosis, but also Paget's disease of bone and hyperparathyroidism).
