To summarize monitoring, prevention, and treatment options of glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis for patients on chronic glucocorticoid therapy. Recent meta-analyses highlight the efficacy of bisphosphonate use in improving bone mineral density and in reducing vertebral fractures in the setting of long term glucocorticoid use. A new study has now shown that alendronate also reduces the risk of hip fracture in glucocorticoid use. Emerging data indicate that teriparatide and denosumab also reduce the risk of osteoporotic fracture in glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis. Glucocorticoid use is a leading cause of secondary osteoporosis; however, patients at risk of glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis are often not evaluated or treated in a timely manner. Patients on a dose equivalent of 2.5mg prednisone or greater for 3 months or longer duration should have their fracture risk assessed. Those at moderate or high risk should start bisphosphonate therapy, or if contraindicated, a second line agent such as teriparatide or denosumab.
