You may not let your osteoporosis change your active lifestyle, but you may realize that treatment may be necessary to keep it that way.
If your doctor does prescribe treatment, the good news is that treatments today can actually strengthen your bones. Reclast is the only FDA-approved, once-a-year treatment for postmenopausal osteoporosis. One annual intravenous (IV) dose, along with daily calcium and vitamin D, helps strengthen your bones and protect them from fracture for 12 months.
In addition to treatment, there are other things you can do to help protect your bone health.
There are some healthy practices that can prevent bone loss, such as eating a healthy diet and exercising, for starters.
