Susan with child I keep doing the things I've been doing—taking my calcium and vitamin D daily, exercising—and I get an annual Reclast treatment just as my doctor prescribed.

Living with Osteoporosis

You may not let your osteoporosis change your active lifestyle, but you may realize that to keep it that way, treatment may be necessary.

The good news is that treatment can actually work to help make your bones stronger. Reclast is the only FDA-approved, once-a-year treatment for postmenopausal osteoporosis.

With Reclast, one annual intravenous (IV) dose, along with daily calcium and vitamin D, helps strengthen your bones and protect them from fracture for 12 full 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.

Eating a bone-healthy diet

One good way to protect your bone health is to make sure you're eating a diet rich in calcium and vitamin D. Calcium helps keep your bones strong and vitamin D helps your body absorb the calcium.

Exercise helps bone strength

We all have a favorite exercise. Whatever your favorite is, it's probably got a lot of good things going for it and you! That's because physical activity plays an important role in maintaining healthier bones. It's been shown to:
Stimulate bone formation
Improve muscle strength
Improve balance and reduce the risk of falls
