Treatment options

Evidence-based approaches to managing this condition.

First-line treatments

1

Bisphosphonate Therapy

Antiresorptive medications that help increase bone mineral density and reduce fracture risk by inhibiting osteoclast activity. Commonly used to strengthen bone structure in osteogenesis imperfecta patients.
