![]() I read recently that there is an {*filter*}calcitonin treatment that has shown some promise. Before reading that (I think in an article in *Science News*), I had heard that calcitonin had been rather disappointing as a treatment for osteoporosis, and that prevention, namely a good supply of calcium (childhood through {*filter*}s and during pregnancy and lactation, especially), and estrogen replacement therapy at menopause were the best approach to osteoporosis. Can this or any drug reverse the effects of 20 - something years of bone loss that leads to the fractures of osteoporosis ? Thanks for any information, Layne VB |
