Diving into the Depths of Osteoporosis: A Look at the Top Three Groundbreaking Treatments

Anabolic Medications - Building Stronger Bones

While anti-resorptive medications slow bone loss, anabolic drugs help build new bone, making them a crucial part of the fight against osteoporosis. Teriparatide (Forteo) and Abaloparatide (Tymlos) are two such anabolic drugs that mimic the action of the parathyroid hormone, stimulating new bone growth.

The most recent addition to this class is Romosozumab (Evenity). Approved by the FDA in 2019, Evenity works by both increasing bone formation and decreasing bone loss. Its dual action mechanism offers a novel approach to osteoporosis treatment, bringing new optimism to the medical community and patients alike.
