Hello,

Osteoporosis is common at this age and treatment should be started. Osteoporosis means a decrease in bone matrix and calcium in old age.

Treatment should be started with calcium supplements like tablet Shelcal CT twice a day and continued for 6 months. With calcium, supplements, Bisphonates drug like alendronate helps in decreasing bone resorption.

DEXA scan should be done to assess the severity of osteoporosis and can be done from radiology center nearby you. Calcitonin nasal spray is also needed for severe osteoporosis.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Archana
