Abstract
The chronic use of glucocorticoids results in osteoporosis. Several sets of guidelines have been published on the management of glucocorticoid induced osteoporosis (GIO). These guidelines vary on their focus and highlight different aspects of the current concepts in the management of GIO. In this current article, we summarize recent guidelines for management of GIO and highlight similarities and differences as well as address some of the controversies generated by these guidelines.Entities:
