What to expect?


Assessment and Diagnosis: Patients undergo thorough assessments to evaluate their bone health status, including bone mineral density (BMD) testing and fracture risk assessment. This helps determine the severity of osteoporosis and the need for treatment.

Treatment Initiation: Patients eligible for denosumab treatment receive their initial injections at the clinic. Denosumab is an injectable medication administered under the skin (subcutaneously) once every 6 months. It works by inhibiting bone resorption and increasing bone mass.

Monitoring and Follow-Up: Regular follow-up visits are scheduled to monitor treatment effectiveness, assess bone density changes, and evaluate any side effects or complications. During these visits, patients may undergo BMD testing and other relevant assessments to track progress and adjust treatment plans as necessary.

Patient Education and Support: Patients receive comprehensive education about osteoporosis, denosumab treatment, lifestyle modifications (such as diet and exercise), and fall prevention strategies. This empowers patients to actively manage their bone health and minimize the risk of fractures.

Frequently asked questions

What is denosumab?
Denosumab is a medication used to treat osteoporosis and other conditions that cause bone loss. It is a monoclonal antibody that works by inhibiting a protein called RANKL, which is involved in the formation, function, and survival of osteoclasts—cells that break down bone tissue.
How does it work?
By reducing the activity of osteoclasts, denosumab helps to decrease bone resorption and increase bone density, thereby reducing the risk of fractures.
How long does it take to work?
The effects of denosumab can vary from person to person, but patients may begin to notice improvements in bone density and a reduction in fracture risk within the first few months of treatment.
