Area of Science:

  • Pharmacology and Endocrinology
  • Bone Biology and Metabolism

Context:

  • Osteoporosis is a significant health concern, particularly for postmenopausal women.
  • Current treatments focus on antiresorption or bone formation enhancement.

Purpose:

  • To review and categorize existing and emerging drug therapies for osteoporosis.
  • To highlight the therapeutic potential of novel agents targeting bone remodeling factors.

Summary:

  • Antiresorptive drugs (estrogen, calcium, calcitonin, bisphosphonates) and bone-forming agents are discussed.
  • Sodium fluoride shows efficacy in reducing vertebral fractures and increasing bone mass.
  • Calcium and vitamin D supplementation aid in retarding bone loss with good tolerance.
  • Emerging therapies targeting cytokines and growth factors represent promising future treatments.
