Antiporotic agents
Improvement of bone turnover
Increase both cortical and trabecular bone mass (bone mineral density) and improve bone quality
Decrease fracture risk
Antiporotic agents should prevent fractures through effects on bone strength

Effective Treatment Is Based on Efficacy, Safety/Tolerability and
AdherenceEffective Treatment
Efficacy Safety/Tolerability+ Adherence+
The capacity for beneficial change, or therapeutic effect of a given intervention
Defined as freedom from undesirable side-effects/adverse events, and decrease in susceptibility to the effects of a medication resulting from continued administration
Reflects a combination of behaviours determining the extent to which patients take medications as prescribed
Payer J, et al. Biomed Pharmacother 2007;61:191-193.
Adherence Encompasses Both Persistence and
Compliance

Adherence Level
Good adherence leads to reduced fracture
risk and reduced risk of hospitalisation
Goettsch WG, et al. J Bone Miner Res 2005;20(Suppl. 1):S278 (Abstract SU388)
20–30% reduction in risk of hospitalisation for fracture

Note:greatest protective effect (30%) against hospitalisation for fracture was seen in patients persistent >1year
Reduction of mortality by osteoporosis treatment
Effective osteoporosis treatments (bisphosphonates, strontium ranelate, denosumab) that prevent vertebral and nonvertebral fractures reduce mortality by approximately 10% in older, frailer individuals with osteoporosi who are at high risk of fractures.
A 10% RR reduction would correspond to an absolute mortality benefit ranging from 0.4–7 deaths prevented per 1000 patient-years of treatment
Bolland, M. J. et al. J Clin Endocrinol Metab 2010;95:1174-1181
The effect of treatment of osteoporosis on mortality in 10 studies included in the secondary
analysis, grouped by individual agents
Compliance and fracture rate
≥ 90% compliance led to significantly lower risk of fracture versus < 30% compliance
20% increase in the risk of fracture in individuals with an MPR of 50-89% compared with those with an MPR ≥ 90%
The relationship between compliance and fracture rate has consistently been shown to be non-linear
Compliance and persistence with osteoporosis therapies are suboptimal with a clear impact on fracture rates
Siris et al. Am J Med 2009; 122: S3-S13MPR – the length of time the medication was avialable to the patient, based on refill patterns – used to measure compliance

HRT is approved by FDA for the prevention of osteoporosis, relief of vasomotor symptoms and vulvovaginal atrophy associated with menopause.
Because of the risks (MI, stroke, pulmonary embolism, deep vein phlebitis) HRT should be used in the lowest effective doses fort the shortest duration to meet treatment goals.
HRT is indicated during menopause to avoid complications of climacteric syndrome such as fractures, cardiovaskular risks and neurological signs
HRT is indicated for the prevention and not for treatment.
Because of the risks associated with long-term use, HRT should be used for prevention of OP only in women who are unable to use other medicines that are authorised for this purpose.

CALCITONIN
Daily – nasal spray 200 I.U/kg
Calcitonin
Skeletal effects of calcitonin decreases the rate of bone resorption binds to specific receptors on osteoblasts and decreases the activity of those
cells bone formation may be augmented by calcitonin through increased osteoblastic
activity
Calcitonin – nasal spray is used: In Europe since 1987 In USA since 1995

Economic impact
In Europe, total direct costs of osteoporosis were estimated in 2000 at 31.7 billion
In 2002 report, estimated direct costs of treating work-place osteporotic fractures in the US, Canada an Europe were
US $ 48 billion per year
Indirect costs (lost productivity) in the work-place, due to osteporotic fractures, in the US alone, was estimated:
between US $ 4.5 billion and US $ 6.4 billion per year
