Osteoporosis – 4 Stages and Symptoms

Conclusion

There is no cure for osteoporosis. There are however treatments for it and steps that can be taken to prevent it. Drugs like bisphosphonates, denosumab, and romosozumab are used to treat osteoporosis. There are also hormone-related medications like calcitonin, parathyroid hormones, and selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs) which are treatment methods.

Certain lifestyle changes can also go a long way in preventing and maintaining osteoporosis. Including plenty of calcium and vitamin D in your diet is as important as the medications being taken. Physical activity and exercises like walking, hiking, and dancing is also a good way to treat or prevent this condition.
