摘要
Here we describe a 47-year-old postmenopausal woman who had been taking alendronate 70 mg/week for osteoporosis. After two months of alendronate therapy, she developed hepatotoxicity, and no other etiological factors for this besides the alendronate were apparent. After the alendronate therapy was discontinued, the patient's hepatic enzyme levels slowly returned to normal. Hepatotoxicity due to alendronate therapy is a rare but possible adverse effect.
