You might actually have heard of Actonel (Risedronate), which is available in once a month dosing form.
I have been told that you can also get a once a year dose, I think by IV, if you cannot tolerate the weekly or daily dose. I believe it is very expensive, but in some cases Medicare may pay for this. Hopefully, someone will know more about this option and fill us in on the information.
