    5. Study Description

    Brief Summary
    Acute phase response (APR) is one of the most common adverse events in osteoporosis with zoledronic acid treatment. It's reported that this reaction is related to the blockade of the mevalonate pathway, leading to isopentenyl pyrophosphate (IPP) accumulation. And the latter can active γδT cells in the circulation, resulting in inflammatory cytokine release. Statins can inhibit the conversion of HMG-CoA to mevalonate that may reduce the accumulation of IPP. Therefore, it is possible that statins can be taken in advance to reduce APR caused by zoledronic acid infusion.
