Can you tell me about the best treatment for ostoporous?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Osteoporosis: I assume you're referring to osteoporosis or weak bones. 1st need to confirm/make diagnosis w/DXA (dual energy absorptiometry) scan. 2nd need to figure out why/cause. Hyperthyroidism? Corticosteroids? Tobacco use? See https://www.shef.ac.uk/ for major risk factors. Finally, discuss options: bisphosphonate, RANKL inhibitor, recombinant PTH, SERM, estrogen, etc. Check out http://nof.org/articles/22
