Drug induced osteoporosis (DIO) represents about 20% of all cases affected by Osteoporosis. DIO is one of the most challenging health issues in the elderly patients affected by various skin diseases. Any attempt to prevent or treat DIO will significantly decrease patients’ morbidity and mortality. Novel drugs have been recently developed for prevention and/or treatment of DIO. New methods of detection, prevention and treatment of DIO will be discussed.
