@daisy17 My understanding is that they are the same. Is that incorrect? The difference is taht Reclast is a once-yearly intravenous infusion, while Fosamax is a daily or weekly pill. Reclast offers convenience, while Fosamax allows easy discontinuation if side effects occur.

@babs10 They are both bisphosphonates, but they are also different. Reclast is zoledronic acid and Fosamax is alendronate. And as you said, Fosamax is taken orally, while Reclast is given intravenously.
