Osteoporosis Treatment

There have been some great advances in the treatment of osteoporosis over the past ten years. In addition to supplementing diet with adequate amounts of Calcium and Vitamin D and weight-bearing exercise, there are several drug treatments available to people with osteoporosis. These include estrogen replacement therapy (HRT), PTH (Forteo injectable), biphosphanates (Fosamax or Actonel), and calcitonin (Calcimar, Miacalcin).

Your personal medical history and lifestyle will affect which treatments are appropriate for you.
