With the advent of an aging society, there are more and more elderly patients with osteoporosis who suffer from perennial back pain. There are also many people in hospitals who are unable to work, live and exercise normally for months or even long periods of time after a fracture. Most people agree that calcium supplements are needed in these cases, but how do you get the right “”calcium supplement””? “Varieties of calcium supplements” – Usually we give you three drugs orally: osteopontin, risedronate, and calcium D. “How to take calcium supplements” 1. Risedronate: Take 1 tablet (5mg) in the morning on an empty stomach at once, with 200ml of water, and keep standing or sitting for at least half an hour after taking the drug (avoid sleeping down). 2.Calcium D: Take 1 tablet (600mg) before bedtime or after dinner with a sip of water. 3.Osteotriol: one tablet (0.25ug) in the morning and one tablet in the evening, taken at the same time with the above two drugs respectively. “Points to note for calcium supplementation” 1. It is clinically found that very few patients will suffer from indigestion and gastrointestinal discomfort after taking risedronate. 2.It is clinically found that very few patients will develop rash and itching after taking osteotriol. 3. It is found that a very small number of patients may develop hypercalcemia and even stone attack after taking Calcium D for a long time. There is no need to panic when the above situation occurs, please stop the medication and inform your doctor and deal with it accordingly. In addition, it should be noted that the combination of the above drugs is not simply a so-called “calcium supplement”, but also a mechanism to promote blood calcium absorption, bone calcium deposition, and inhibit bone calcium destruction. After long-term “calcium supplementation”, it is necessary to monitor blood calcium and kidney function indicators, please consult your doctor. Other methods of “calcium supplementation” There is also a Swiss imported “MIGUDA injection”, 100ml/bottle, which only needs to be infused once a year, and the price is more than 3000 yuan. For elderly patients, there is no need to panic if they still have an osteoporotic compression fracture despite the above methods of calcium supplementation. Minimally invasive percutaneous “bone cement injection” can be very effective in strengthening the bone and relieving pain, if necessary, ask your doctor.
