Osteoporosis weakens bones, increasing the risk of fractures often without warning, which is how it got the reputation of being a “silent” disease. While many treatments slow bone loss, a newer medication called romosozumab does that while helping build new bone, too. Certain older osteoporosis drugs have been linked to serious complications, leading some people to delay or avoid treatment altogether. This new medication may offer another option for those with severe osteoporosis or those who haven’t responded to other treatments.
