A wide array of drugs are available to treat osteoporosis. These drugs are generally effective in reducing patients’ risk of fracture and are well tolerated. Oral bisphosphonates, especially alendronate, dominate first-line treatment, mainly because of the drug class’s widespread generic availability and physician familiarity. Branded agents like Amgen’s Prolia and Evenity, Eli Lilly’s Forteo, and Radius Health’s Tymlos are reserved for high-risk patients, primarily because of their high prices. This report presents insight into the treatment of a disease in which brands compete for market share in the second and later lines of therapy and monotherapy is preferred.
