Osteoporosis is characterized by low bone mass and deterioration of bone structure, making bones fragile and prone to fractures. Key drugs used to treat osteoporosis include calcium, vitamin D, bisphosphonates, SERMs, calcitonin, PTH and teriparatide, and denosumab. Newer drugs under development include romosozumab, a sclerostin inhibitor that strongly increases bone mineral density, abaloparatide, and integrin antagonists. Non-drug approaches also show promise such as biomaterials and gut serotonin inhibitors.
