Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hormone replacement therapy is used to combat osteoporosis by replacing hormones that are lost during menopause, which can lead to bone loss. Anti-inflammatory medicines and opiates are used to manage pain, but do not treat the underlying condition of osteoporosis. Splints or casts may be used to treat bone fractures, but they do not address the overall issue of bone loss that is associated with osteoporosis.
