Calcium carbonate, vitamin D, teriparatide injection, salmon calcitonin and other medications can be used for severe osteoporosis in the elderly.
1. Calcium: Adequate calcium intake can help slow down bone loss. When dietary calcium intake is insufficient, it is recommended to give calcium supplements. Commonly used medications such as calcium carbonate have high calcium content and are more easily absorbed.
2. Vitamin D: It can increase intestinal calcium absorption and is often used in conjunction with calcium supplements to reduce the risk of post-fall and osteoporotic fractures.
3. Anti-osteoporosis drugs: commonly used drugs include teriparatide injection, which is especially suitable for postmenopausal elderly women with high risk of fracture.
4. Calcitonin: Salmon Calcitonin is often chosen for its ability to inhibit the activity of osteoclasts and reduce the number of osteoclasts, which has the effect of relieving bone pain.
Before taking the above medications, they need to be applied under the guidance of a professional doctor, and should not be taken on their own to avoid adverse consequences to the body.
