What medicine can be taken to stop osteoporosis?
Asked by Female, 51 · 2 months ago
Medicines for osteoporosis usually help strengthen your bones and prevent further bone loss. Common options your doctor may prescribe include calcium, vitamin D, bisphosphonates (like alendronate), or vitamin K2. These work best along with simple habits like walking daily, getting sunlight, and avoiding smoking or alcohol. Always take medicines only after your doctor confirms the right one for you based on your age, bone scan, and health condition.
