Abstract
Anumber of new drugs are moving through the osteoporosis therapy pipeline. Some show great promise for patients while one has fallen by the wayside at the last hurdle. New, effective therapies are warmly welcomed but there are still uncertainties around management of osteoporosis with currently available drugs that are contributing to what is commonly being referred to as the ‘treatment gap’; a differential between those patients who would benefit from treatment versus those who actually are receiving it. Furthermore, in parallel to the common public health disease of osteoporosis, there have been tangible developments in therapies available for some rare bone and calcium diseases.Keywords
