Drug-induced osteoporosis - what does this mean

Drug-induced osteoporosis is a condition that occurs when certain medications, such as corticosteroids, interfere with the body's ability to absorb calcium and other minerals necessary for bone health. over time, this can lead to a decrease in bone density, making them more prone to fractures.

What happens during the disease - drug-induced osteoporosis

Drug-induced osteoporosis is a condition in which bone density and strength are decreased due to the long-term use of certain medications. this condition is caused by an imbalance in bone formation and resorption, leading to increased bone fragility and an increased risk of fractures. the medications that are most commonly associated with this condition are glucocorticoids, anticonvulsants, and anticoagulants. other factors such as age, gender, genetics, and lifestyle may also play a role in the development of drug-induced osteoporosis.
