PROPER MEDICATION FOR OSTEOPOROSIS

Osteoporosis Medication: Osteoporosis, which is a thinning of the bones as we age, can cause significant back pain if it causes vertebral body fractures. Recently, several drugs have been approved for use in the treatment of osteoporosis to reduce the risk of fractures. Osteoporosis medications work by reducing the bone loss and increasing mineral deposition in the bones.

Osteoporosis Medication: The good news about osteoporosis is that to a large extent it is preventable and treatable. However, an individual’s personal plan to prevent and treat osteoporosis may include multiple components and challenging lifestyle changes. For osteoporosis prevention and treatment to be successful, the patient will need to practice diligent follow-through and seek regular care by the treating physician or healthcare team. This may be accomplished by incorporating a discussion, exam and diagnostic tests focused on bone mass into the patient’s regular annual exam, or by scheduling a periodic appointment focused solely on bone mass/osteoporosis.

Osteoporosis Medication: The key is making sure that follow-up takes place so that the elements of the osteoporosis prevention and treatment plan can be adjusted as needed to slow/stop bone loss to the maximum extent possible. The single most important thing to remember is that even after osteoporosis has been diagnosed it is possible to slow bone loss and build bone density. Those at increased risk for osteoporosis do not have to accept the disease and the risk of osteoporosis-related fractures as their inevitable fate

Osteoporosis Medication: For those with any of the risk factors for osteoporosis, it is advisable to get a bone density test to assess bone mass and the presence of osteoporosis. Knowledge of one’s bone density is vital to developing an appropriate action plan to prevent worsening of the condition and hopefully prevent a painful osteoporosis-related fracture.
