(1) calcium and vitamin D: Treatment of senile osteoporosis is the basic choice, drugs are cheap, easy-to long-term use.

(2) calcium + vitamin D + bisphosphonates, or calcium + vitamin D + calcitonin: osteoporosis treatment is the most common means of 3 drug combination, can give full play to their strengths and avoid each other enough. The affordability of certain patients may choose this combination.

(3) estrogen + "1": that of estrogen and vitamin D, bisphosphonates + estrogen or estrogen + calcitonin for postmenopausal osteoporosis. Studies have shown that while estrogen treatment combined with vitamin D, bisphosphonates or calcitonin, estrogen therapy alone get a better clinical efficacy, and reduce the effective dose of estrogen, decrease the incidence of adverse reactions.  http://meandeangreen.com/post/4637641733/2-suatanlee-seo-...
