So, with osteoforming (teriparatide), antiresorptive (raloxifene, bazedoxifene, denosumab) treatments and dual mechanism drugs (strontium ranelate), discontinuation of treatment results in a gradual loss of the beneficial effect achieved and in the progressive loss of BMD.

The term “holiday” implies that, at some later stage, the same drug will be reintroduced again.</p><p id="par0055" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The main purpose for which therapeutic holidays with BP arise is to maintain a proper balance between benefit (efficacy or effectiveness to prevent the occurrence of osteoporotic fractures) and the safety associated with the long term use of a particular BP for more than 3–5 years.</p><p id="par0060" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Of all the complications described with BP, the gradual emergence of AFF cases is what has alerted and questioned the long-term treatment with these drugs.

Subsequently, retention is much slower and progressive, so that in the sixth month the skeletal retention amounts to 67%.
