Know how different
OSTEOPOROSIS TREATMENTS WORK
There are 2 types of osteoporosis treatments—antiresorptives and anabolics. Each treatment type works differently, so take a look below to learn more.
Works one way
Antiresorptives
These medications increase bone density by slowing down bone loss that causes osteoporosis.
Anabolics
These medications increase bone density by stimulating bone formation.
Works two ways
EVENITY®
EVENITY® is an anabolic treatment that's unique, because it's the only one that works two ways by building new bone and, to a lesser extent, slowing down bone loss.
