Brief Answer:
NO!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this borderline anemia. There is no link between anemia and bisphosphonates. Bisphosphonatse are mainly used in the context of reducing bone loss and do not cause anemias as a possible side effect. If you have the entire laboratory report, please upload for review.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
