What is Endocrinology - Which medications are preferred for Paget's disease of the bones?
The preferred treatment for Paget's disease is bisphosphonates. The response to calcitonin is typically transient after treatment is stopped, in contrast to the treatment response to bisphosphonates, which frequently results in suppression of disease activity over extended periods of time, sometimes several years. Due to the availability of more strong drugs, etidronate and calcitonin are rarely utilised. In one research, patients with Paget's disease were given either a 15-minute zoledronic acid infusion or 60 days of oral risedronate. When compared to daily treatments with risedronate, a single infusion of zoledronic acid induced a quicker, more thorough, and longer-lasting response. Therefore, significant active disease or disease that does not respond to oral bisphosphonate medication may benefit more from intravenous bisphosphonate therapy. Other therapeutic methods, such as analgesics, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications, canes, orthotics, hearing aids, and surgery, should also be used in the treatment of symptomatic patients.
