The currently licensed alternatives to HRT for the secondary prevention of osteoporosis, preventing fractures in women with existing osteoporosis, include bisphosphonates, raloxifene, teriparatide, strontium ranelate, calcitonin and anabolic steroids. Calcium supplements and Vitamine D are licensed as an adjunct to therapy.
