Background
Bone metastases (BMs) are common in patients with prostate cancer and can lead to skeletal-related events (SREs), which are associated with increased pain and reduced quality of life (QoL). Bone-targeted agents (BTAs), such as zoledronic acid and denosumab, reduce the incidence of SREs and delay progression of bone pain.

Disintegrating agents are substances routinely included in the tablet formulations to aid in the break up of the compacted mass when it is put into a fluid environment. They promote moisture penetration and dispersion of the tablet matrix. In recent years, several newer agents have been developed known as "Superdisintegrants". These newer substance...
Extended release means the pill is formulated so that the drug is released slowly over time. This has the advantage of taking pills less often. Also means that there may be fewer side effects as the levels of the of drug in the body are more consistent in extended release formulations. Extended-release dosage consists of sustained-release and contr...
Osteomyelitis is an infection and inflammation of the bone or the bone marrow. It can happen if a bacterial or fungal infection enters the bone tissue from the bloodstream, due to injury or surgery.
