Dear, doctor what's new in the treatment of osteoporosis? thanks
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Prolia: Well, new is a relative term. Prolia is the latest fda approved drug for the treatment of osteoporosis but its been available for over 2 years now. It is the first and only drug of this type to be used for osteoporosis. It was originally used (and still is) for certain cancers.
