Summary
"This trial is looking at how two different FDA-approved medications work in treating osteoporosis in women after menopause."
Who is the study for?
This trial is for postmenopausal women aged 45 and older who have osteoporosis with a high risk of fractures. Participants should not have used bone health treatments significantly before, nor should they have other bone diseases, serious kidney or liver issues, heart/lung problems, psychiatric disorders, abnormal calcium levels, severe vitamin D deficiency, anemia or a history of cancer (except skin cancer). They also shouldn't abuse alcohol or substances.
What is being tested?
The study is examining the effects of two FDA-approved medications for treating postmenopausal osteoporosis: Romosozumab and Teriparatide. It aims to understand how these drugs work in managing the condition and preventing fractures.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects from Romosozumab may include joint pain, headache, injection site reactions like redness and swelling; while Teriparatide can cause nausea, dizziness upon standing up too fast due to low blood pressure (orthostatic hypotension), leg cramps and increased chance of kidney stones.
