Paget's disease is most often treated with drug therapy, with bone pain lessening within weeks of starting the treatment. While non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can reduce bone pain, two additional categories of drugs are used to treat this d...

ALENDRONATE (a LEN droe nate) slows calcium loss from bones. It helps to make normal healthy bone and to slow bone loss in people with Paget's disease and osteoporosis. It may be used in others at risk for bone loss.

Synthetic bisphosphonate; bone resorption inhibitor.

|
CALCITONIN (kal si TOE nin) is a hormone. It helps control calcium in the body. It is used to treat Paget's disease, osteoporosis, and hypercalcemia.
|
|
Polypeptide hormone secreted by parafollicular cells (C cells) of thyroid gland; acts predominantly on bone to lower serum calcium concentration and inhibit bone resorption.
|
|
Calcitonin is a test that measures the amount of the hormone calcitonin in the blood.
|
|
Calcitonin is a hormone involved in regulating calcium metabolism. The hormone calcitonin is produced by the thyroid gland. A synthetic human product is available.
|
|
PAMIDRONATE (pa mi DROE nate) slows calcium loss from bones. It is used to treat high calcium blood levels from cancer or Paget's disease. It is also used to treat bone pain and prevent fractures from certain cancers that have spread to the bone.
|
|
Synthetic bisphosphonate; bone resorption inhibitor.
|
|
ETIDRONATE (e ti DROE nate) reduces calcium loss from bone. It helps make healthy bone and slows bone loss in people with Paget's disease. It may also be used in people with heterotropic ossification or high blood calcium.

|
TILUDRONATE (tye LOO droe nate) slows calcium loss from bone. It helps to make healthy bone and to slow bone loss in patients with Paget's disease.
|
|
Zoledronate is also known as Zometa. It is a treatment for hypercalcemia (high levels of calcium in the blood) caused by tumors. New laboratory evidence suggests that, in addition, zoledronate may have direct anticancer effects.
|
|
ZOLEDRONIC ACID (ZOE le dron ik AS id) lowers the amount of calcium loss from bone. It is used to treat Paget's disease and osteoporosis in women.

CALCITONIN (kal si TOE nin) stops bone loss and breaks. It will make your bones more dense, or thicker. This medicine is used to treat postmenopausal osteoporosis.
