Do you need infusion therapy for osteoporosis?

For most patients with osteoporosis, infusion therapy is not necessary. If the patient has severe osteoporosis, an infusion can be used as an adjunct to treatment. Most of the medications used in the treatment of osteoporosis can be administered orally or intramuscularly. Only in patients with severe osteoporosis can fluids be given intravenously to replenish fluids and provide calcium and vitamins. In patients with pathologic fractures, anti-inflammatory, decongestive, and healing medications may be administered intravenously. In addition, adjunctive medications, such as bone peptides, may be administered intravenously during the treatment of these patients. It is recommended that patients suffering from osteoporosis should go to a regular medical institution for treatment and not go to an unqualified clinic for the so-called infusion therapy.
