A healthcare provider may recommend certain medications for treating osteoporosis. In some cases, estrogen therapy (ET) and hormone therapy (HT) may be used to reduce bone loss, increase bone density in both the spine and hip, and reduce the risk of hip and spine fractures in postmenopausal women. However, this type of therapy should only be prescribed for the shortest amount of time possible. Other medications for osteoporosis treatment may include alendronate, risedronate, ibandronate, calcitonin, and raloxifene.
