Salmon calcitonin in the therapy of corticoid-induced osteoporosis

Abstract: There is uncertainty about the best treatment for steroid-induced osteoporosis. Thirty-six patients with steroid-dependent, chronic obstructive lung disease and associated steroid osteoporosis have been studied, of whom 18 were treated with salmon calcitonin and the other 18 served as controls. Treatment lasted for 6 months and consisted of 100 I.U.s.c. every other day. In the controls there were significant decrements of 1.4% and 3.5%, respectively, in cortical and cortical and trabecular bone mineral content… Show more

“…With a relative risk (RR) of 0.71 (95% CI: 0.26-1.89) for vertebral and 0.52 (95% CI: 0.14-1.96) for non-vertebral fractures, the risk of fractures was not significantly different between calcitonin and placebo. In patients with steroid-dependent, chronic obstructive lung disease and associated steroid-induced osteoporosis, calcitonin was shown to reduce back pain significantly versus untreated controls [115,116].…”

“…Parenteral calcitonin, as an inhibitor of bone resorption, has produced a small increase in bone mass during 6 months in corticosteroid-induced osteoporosis, whist BMD decreased in controls [82]. No data on fracture rate are available.…”
