地舒单抗治疗骨质疏松需要打几针

Osteoporosis is a common disease, and multiple studies have confirmed that denosumab is effective in treating osteoporosis. (denosumab) is a fully humanized monoclonal IgG2 antibody that targets receptor activation of NFκB ligand (RANKL) and will not be cleared by the kidneys. Today we will learn more about how many injections of denosumab are needed to treat osteoporosis?

Denosumab is used to prevent and treat osteoporosis. The method of use is also very simple. It only needs to be injected subcutaneously every six months at a dose of 60 mg. The medication interval is long. The administration method is simple and it is an efficient treatment plan, making it easier for patients to accept. This method of use does not hinder the patient's daily life too much.

Suzuki et al. treated 25 postmenopausal osteoporosis patients who did not receive bisphosphonate treatment and 24 patients who had long-term bisphosphonate treatment with denosumab for 3 years.

The results showed that compared with before treatment, the bone mineral density of the lumbar spine and femoral neck in each group increased compared with before treatment, and the increase was more obvious in the group that did not receive bisphosphonate treatment, and the bone turnover markers decreased more significantly than before treatment, indicating that denosumab has a more significant effect on patients with osteoporosis who have not received treatment and is a first-line drug for the treatment of osteoporosis.

Desosumab Xgeva was conditionally approved for marketing in China in May 2019, but it has not yet been included in the medical insurance. Although patients can buy the drug in pharmacies of major hospitals, the price is still very expensive. The price of denosumab drugs listed abroad is cheaper. Patients can go abroad to buy drugs, or they can obtain drugs through domestic professional medical service institutions.

Medical Travel is also a professional medical service organization in China that can help patients obtain denosumab drugs, and the drugs are delivered directly to their homes. It can also reduce the burden on patients, ensuring authenticity and avoiding the risk of purchasing counterfeit drugs on behalf of others. The price is subject to exchange rate fluctuations and is not fixed. Patients can consult customer service to find out the price.
