Does not assume to estrogen to activate the breast or endometrium, thereby abbreviation the accident of hormone replacement. Raloxifene may could cause hot flashes. It is at atomic agnate to the accident of claret array accident and estrogen. Tamoxifen (Nolvadex), frequently acclimated in the analysis of assertive breast cancer, can aswell arrest cartilage abolition and blot cartilage mass.
* Calcium: Calcium and vitamin D needs, accretion cartilage mass, in accession to estrogen backup therapy.

o a circadian assimilation of 800-1000 IU of vitamin D, added appeal for cartilage mass.
* Bisphosphonates: added forms of analysis accessible for osteoporosis. Bisphosphonate drugs by mouth, including alendronate, etidronate; intravenous bang of drugs, including bisphosphonate, zoledronate (Reclast). These drugs apathetic cartilage loss, and in some cases, they in fact admission cartilage density. Doctors can admeasurement the appulse of admission to these drugs every year or two DXAs altitude and comparison.
When demography these drugs, it is important that the cocked continuing or sitting 30 account afterwards burning drugs. This helps abate the accident of annoyance and esophageal ulcer.

Ø etidronate (Didronel): This biologic has been adopted by the U.S. FDA for analysis of Paget disease, addition cartilage condition. Doctors accept been application this biologic in analytic trials in the analysis of women succeeded in osteoporosis.
Ø Ibandronate (Boniva): This biologic is the latest FDA accustomed bisphosphonates for the blockage or analysis of postmenopausal women with osteoporosis.
Ø Zoledronate (Reclast): This is a able attitude of bisphosphonate on an anniversary basis. This can be decidedly advantageous in patients who can not abide articulate bisphosphonates or accept adversity with acquiescence of approved quantitative articulate drug.
* Added hormones: These hormones advice adapt calcium and / or phosphate in the body, and to anticipate cartilage loss.

Ø Teriparatide (Forteo): Teriparatide contains a allotment of the animal parathyroid hormone. It is mainly in the adjustment of calcium and phosphorus metabolism of bone, thereby announcement new cartilage accumulation and advance to cartilage density. This biologic is acclimated as a circadian injection.
