(1) long history about 55 yr postmenopausal female pt concerned about risk of osteoporosis , she had done an oesohageal opeartion and still complaining of some GiT problems, her t score cevical 2.5 and Lumbar T score -2.5, they give lab their ca level is normal and vit d level is normal and no mention in the Q about any menopausal symptoms,what is your most appropriate management ?

  1. alendronate
  2. ca plus vit d
  3. HRT
    and don’t think that there is option of zolidronic acid or these others #feb2017
    She has osteoporosis as T score is -2.5 …A should be the answer but it causes oesophagitis
    ’HRT cannot be recommended in asymptomatic menopausal women to prevent osteoporosis’ JM1149
    (2) Osteoporosis scenario with T score -2.5.All labs normal except low vitamin D. What to give?
    a) Alendronate
    b) Calcium
    c) Calcitriol
    d) Raloxifen
    e) Vitamin D3

We give vitamin D to patient with osteopenia or at risk to develop osteoporosis but she already had it so we need to treat it. I am with A

Option C and E means the same thing. Calcitriol or 1alpha(OH)D3 One-alpha-hydroxy-cholecalciferol is the active form of vitamin D (also called Vitamin D-3) and is given as first treatment in such a case - until normal level of vitamin D levels are attained. After that alendronate / calcium is added.
(3) Menopausal lady, T score -2.5, normal calcium, reduced 25(OH) , what to give
A- Calcium
B- Bisphosphonates
C- Cholecalciferol (vitD3)
Low serum levels of vitamin D should be corrected to a level above 50 nmol/L before commencing bisphosphonate therapy, as this increases the risk of hypocalcemia, especially with parenteral bisphosphonates such as zoledronic acid. ref RACGP
