Suggest Treatment For Osteoporosis
You can go for it.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns.
Two infusion medications have been approved for osteoporosis treatment:
* Ibandronate (Boniva), infused once every three months.
* Zoledronic acid (Reclast), infused once a year.
These drugs helps slow bone loss by turning off osteoclasts (cells that break down bone) while allowing the osteoblasts to continue making new bone
Pros: Bisphosphonates slow the rate of bone loss and reduce risk of breaking a bone.
Cons: Bisphosphonate pills can irritate the lining of your esophagus and stomach, and you have to sit up or stand for an hour after taking the pill. These drugs shouldn’t be taken if you have serious upper gastrointestinal problems.
There is also a risk of osteonecrosis of the jaw, a rare side effect in which there's serious damage to the jaw bone. Osteonecrosis is more likely to occur with high doses. This risk is less than 1 percent, although it is typically even lower with other osteoporosis drugs and so you can take the infusion without any worries.
Let me know if I could help further.
