First line prevention of osteoporosis consists of adequate calcium and vitamin D
in your diet.In premenopausal women it is 1000 mg and
in post menopauasal women,it is 1500 mg/day.This is achieved by taking diet rich in calcium.
Medications themselves can be classified as antiresorptive or bone anabolic agents. Teriparatide (Forteo) is also approved for the treatment of postmenopausal women who have severe osteoporosis and are considered at high risk for fractures.
