Medication Options for Osteoporosis

How can this event help me?

Osteoporosis treatment has come a long way, with a range of effective medications now available to protect bone health and reduce fracture risk. From daily tablets to long-acting injections and infusions, these options give people more flexibility and support than ever before. In this session, Endocrinologist Dr. Dahlia Davidoff will walk you through the different medications available in Australia, explain how they work, and discuss how they can be tailored to individual needs.

Join Dr. Dahlia Davidoff for an informative session where she’ll cover:

  • Understanding Osteoporosis Medications: Learn about the main categories of treatment, including oral bisphosphonates like alendronate (Fosamax) and risedronate (Actonel), six-monthly injections such as denosumab (Prolia), and yearly infusions like zoledronic acid (Aclasta). Dahlia will explain how each is prescribed, how they’re taken, and the benefits they bring for long-term bone strength.
  • How They Work in the Body: Discover how different medications act to slow bone breakdown, improve bone density, and reduce fracture risk. You’ll also hear about newer anabolic therapies such as teriparatide (Forsteo) and romosozumab (Evenity), which actively stimulate bone formation and are considered for certain higher-risk patients.
  • Who They May Benefit: Gain insights into which patients are most likely to benefit from each option such as bisphosphonates for many first-line cases, denosumab for those who prefer injections, or anabolic treatments for people with multiple fractures. Dahlia will explain how doctors tailor treatment choices to your health needs and lifestyle.
  • Treatment Pathways and Monitoring: Learn how osteoporosis medications fit into a broader management plan that may include nutrition, weight-bearing exercise, and fall prevention. Dahlia will also outline what ongoing monitoring involves, such as bone density scans and blood tests, to ensure treatment is working effectively.
  • Practical Tips and Resources: Receive practical advice on what to expect when starting or continuing treatment, how to manage common concerns such as side effects or dosing schedules, and where to find reliable resources and support for maintaining bone health.

This is a valuable opportunity to learn more about osteoporosis treatments and how they can support your long-term health. Join us on Wednesday, November 12th at 8:00 PM AEDT for this live virtual event. As always, we welcome your questions and discussions to make this an engaging and supportive experience for everyone.
