Abstract
Osteoporosis is the most common clinical disorder of bone metabolism. Treatment decisions should be made on an individual basis, taking into consideration the relative benefits and risks in different patient populations. Drug selection should be based on the form (primary/secondary) and severity of osteoporosis, age, sex, the specific contraindications and precautions for using the various available medications, and existing comorbidities.Entities:
