What drug treatment does osteoporosis have?

First: long term medication osteoporosis is a chronic disease, because the metabolism of bone is relatively slow, the change of bone mass can not be shown in a short time, so anti osteoporosis drug treatment also needs a long time. The course of treatment usually lasts for several months or even years, so patients should be prepared for long-term medication instead of rushing for success.

Second: it is necessary to choose calcium combined with different kinds of vitamin D reasonably. At the same time, different kinds of vitamin D should be selected according to the individual conditions of patients, such as the state of liver and kidney function. Some studies indicate that genetic factors are also of great significance in the selection of vitamin D. Therefore, although calcium tablets are over-the-counter drugs, they should be combined with the doctor's advice to choose their own calcium and vitamin D drugs.

Third: standardized osteoporosis drugs can be divided into chemical small molecule drugs, vitamins, hormones, monoclonal antibodies and other categories. The dosage forms also include various oral tablets, nasal sprays, injections, subcutaneous implants, etc. the administration cycle also has relatively large differences, such as once or twice a day, once a week, once a month, and even once a year. The difference between dosage form and dosage directly affects the safety and effectiveness of drug use. Therefore, patients should strictly follow the medication guidance of doctors and pharmacists, and master the correct medication route, medication time and medication skills.
