- Abstract:
- Pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions are available and useful for effective treatment of osteoporosis. Drugs act by stimulation of bone formation (fluoride) or inhibition of bone resorption (calcium, vitamin D compounds, bisphosphonates, hormone replacement therapy, calcitonin). Published data for effectiveness on bone mineral density and/or fracture rates vary considerably. Non-pharmacological interventions to prevent falls or the impact of falls (hip protectors) must be part of a sufficient treatment strategy. Costs of treatment have to be considered in comparison to costs of fracture repair and rehabilitation.
