Osteoporosis treatments can stop bone loss and lower your chances of fractures. You can start by quitting smoking, adding calcium and vitamin D to your diet, and getting exercise. But some people may need medications, such as:
- Drugs called bisphosphonates
- Calcitonin
- Raloxifene
- Injectable teriparatide or PTH to rebuild bone in women who have higher chances of fractures
- Injectable denosumab for women with higher chances of fractures
