Abstract: Previous studies have shown that aminobisfosfonatos, such as alendronate sodium is a potent inhibitor of bone resorption, increases bone mineral density and reduce the risk of fractures in postmenopausal women. The objective of this study was to investigate and develop a new formulation based on Alendronate, to be placed in subcutaneously in the surgical site. Materials and Methods: The pharmaceutical formula was prepared with a dosage of 0.5 mg / kg, he added buffer special, with a final pH of 5.5 means sterile. The control buffers were no active ingredients. The effect of alendronate was evaluated in male Wistar rats (9 weeks of age and weighing 176-214 g, n = 8 per group), which were divided into two groups and one control another problem, the drug is injected in the form subcutaneous times 0, 7, 14 and 30 days. The animals were anesthetized with a solution of Ketamine / xilazina. We performed in the tibia incisions were not filled. All animals were sacrificed by overdose with ether. The parameters studied were watching histopathologic evaluation infiltration of inflammatory cells (ICI), the number and morphology of osteoclasts, gaps reabsorption (surface of the osteoclast) and osteoclast activity. Statistical analysis was performed with the chi-square test. Results: The available data do not reveal any statistically significant difference between the control group and the group with regard to
