Medications to Reduce the Risk of Fracture and Prevent Further Bone Loss
If you’ve already had a fracture or your bone density test shows a high risk of breaking a bone, your healthcare provider may recommend medication.
Osteoporosis medications work by strengthening your bones, slowing bone loss, or helping your body build new bone all to reduce your chance of another fracture.
There are several types of prescription treatments available in Canada. Each works in a different way, and your healthcare provider will help you choose the one that best fits your health needs, preferences, and lifestyle.
