Prescription Medications
The medicines, hormones and dietary supplements currently available act primarily by reducing the rate of bone loss, thus diminishing the risk of fracture. Some increase new
bone growth by a small amount.
- Raloxifene (Evista,Celvista)
Raloxifene is used to help prevent and
treat thinning of the bones (osteoporosis) only in postmenopausal women.
It works like an estrogen to stop the bone loss that can develop in women after menopause, but it does not increase the bone density as
much as daily 0.625 mg doses of conjugated estrogens. Raloxifene will not treat hot flashes of menopause and may cause hot flashes to occur. Also, raloxifene does not stimulate the breast or uterus as estrogen
does.
Raloxifene lowers the blood concentrations of total and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, the bad cholesterols, but it does not increase concentrations of high-density lipoprotein (HDL)
cholesterol, the good cholesterol, in your blood.
- Alendronate (Fosamax)
Alendronate is used to prevent or treat
osteoporosis (thinning of the bone) in women after menopause and to treat osteoporosis in men. It may also be used to treat Paget's disease of bone and osteoporosis (thinning of the bone) caused by
glucocorticoid treatment
- Risedronate (Actonel)
Risedronate is used to prevent and treat
osteoporosis (thinning of bone) in women after menopause. It may also be used in men and women to prevent and treat osteoporosis caused by long-term use of corticosteroids (cortisone-like medicine). Risedronate
is also used to treat Paget's disease of the bone.
- Synthetic salmon calcitonin (Miacalcin,Miacalcic)
Synthetic Salmon
Calcitonin Nasal Spray is used to treat women with postmenopausal osteoporosis (bone loss). It is used together with calcium and vitamin D.
