Hello. Welcome to HCM. This is Dr. Swarnava Dattagupta answering your query.
Osteoporosis is a very common finding among peri and post menopausal women. It has various treatments. Basically we start with oral calcium tablets and vit D3 tablets and any of bisphosphonates like zolindronate, alendronate, pamidronate etc and intranasal calcitonin spray. The above regime does give very good effectivity and is highly recommended among doctors. You can talk to your treating doctor about these medications.
