Are Today's Osteoporosis Medications Safer Due To Past Side Effects? - Osteoporosis Support Network

Are Today's Osteoporosis Medications Safer Due To Past Side Effects? Are you curious about how current osteoporosis medications compare to those used in the past? In this informative video, we'll explain the evolution of osteoporosis treatments and how they have become safer over time. We'll start by discussing the history of medications like bisphosphonates and the side effects that led to more cautious use and monitoring strategies. You'll learn about drug holidays and proper administration techniques that help minimize risks. We’ll also cover other treatments such as denosumab, which works differently by preventing bone breakdown, and the importance of regular monitoring for side effects like low calcium levels. Additionally, we’ll explore selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs) like raloxifene, which mimic estrogen's benefits but come with their own considerations. The video highlights newer options like romosozumab, a medication that promotes rapid bone formation, and the precautions taken due to potential heart risks. Throughout, we emphasize how a better understanding of side effects has led to personalized treatment plans, ensuring safer and more effective care. Remember, each individual’s situation is unique, so always consult your healthcare provider to determine the best approach for your bone health. Stay informed and make confident decisions about osteoporosis management.
