Journal Title: IJSR-International Journal Of Scientific Research - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
BACKGROUND :. Osteoporosis can be measured by Bone Mineral Density (BMD). Supplementing, Calcium Vitamin D &Ibandronic acid can improve bone mass to an extent OBJECTIVE: To assess the effect of change of bone mineral density with calcium , Vitamin D &Ibandronic acid in patients with osteoporosis and to document the overall pain score by the Visual Analogue Scale ( VAS) METHODS: Prospective study, over 6 months, where 201 patients were screened, and detected were treated and followed up by the BMD score. RESULTS : among the patients screened, 100 patients had osteoporosis and 29 had osteopenia, and were treated with Calcium, Vit D3 &Ibandronic acid. Statistically significant improvement in mean T score of BMD documented, with overall pain reduction CONCLUSION : Appropriate timely supplementation of Calcium ,Vit D &Ibandronic acid can improve the BMD and to an extent reduce overall pain.
