• History of any allergic or hypersensitivity reaction to neridronic acid or other bisphosphonate, or to vitamin D or calcium supplements.
• Recent tooth extraction, unhealed or infected extraction site, or significant dental/periodontal disease that may pre-dispose to need for tooth extraction or other invasive dental procedures during the trial.
