Other names: Bone Thinning Osteoporosis treatments include bisphosphonates (such as Actonel, Atelvia, Boniva, Binosto, Fosamax, Aclasta, Reclast, or Zometa), hormone therapies (such as Duavee, Evista, Femhrt, or Premarin), denosumab (Prolia), teriparatide (Forteo), abaloparatide (Tymlos), romosozumab (Evenity), calcitonin (Miacalcin), and supplements (such as calcium, vitamin D, or calcium/vitamin D).Bisphosphonates include:Oral treatments such as alendronate (Binosto, Fosamax), ibandronate (Boniva), or risedronate (Actonel, Atelvia)Injections given once every three months such as the injectable form of ibandronate (Boniva)Intravenous infusions given once a year, such as zoledronic acid (Aclasta, Reclast, Zometa)Other treatments include:Hormone therapies include bazedoxifene and conjugated estrogens (Duavee), raloxifene (Evista), ethinyl estradiol and norethindrone (Femhrt), or conjugated estrogens (Premarin)Raloxifene (Evista) mimics the benefit of estrogen on boneDenosumab (Prolia), which is a monoclonal antibody targets the cells that break down bone (osteoclasts), reducing fracture riskTeriparatide (Forteo) and abaloparatide (Tymlos) which are man-made versions of parathyroid hormone that stimulate bone formation increasing bone density and strengthRomosozumab (Evenity), which is a monoclonal antibody with an unique dual effect, increasing bone formation and reducing bone lossCalcitonin (Miacalcin) which binds to osteoclasts and inhibits bone resorption, but may not be as effective as bisphosphonates at preventing bone loss and reducing the risk of fracturesSupplements (such as calcium, vitamin D, or calcium/vitamin D). In older adults, vitamin D decreases bone loss and lowers the risk of fracture, and adequate vitamin D is needed for efficient calcium absorption. Calcium from dietary sources is preferred rather than a supplement, because too much calcium can cause other health problems in the body.
