Abstract
Osteoporosis can lead to significant morbidity and
mortality due to fractures. Post-menopausal women with
osteoporosis should follow general guidelines in regards to
calcium, vitamin D, and exercise. When added to this
regimen, strontium ranelate 2 grams taken daily can
significantly reduce the risk of vertebral fractures as
well as non-vertebral fractures. It also increased bone
mineral density at the lumbar spine, femoral neck and total
hip.
