Rickets : .Osteomalacia : .Osteoporosis : Osteoporosis causes bones to become weak and brittle — so brittle that a fall or even mild stresses like bending over or coughing can cause a fracture. Osteoporosis-related fractures most commonly occur in the hip, wrist or spine. Bone is living tissue, which is constantly being absorbed and replaced. Osteoporosis occurs when the creation of new bone doesn't keep up with the removal of old bone. Symptoms Signs and symptoms include: • Back pain, caused by a fractured or collapsed vertebra • Loss of height over time • A stooped posture • A bone fracture that occurs much more easily than expected Treatments For both men and women, the most widely prescribed osteoporosis medications are bisphosphonates. Examples include: • Alendronate (Fosamax, Binosto) • Risedronate (Actonel, Atelvia) • Ibandronate (Boniva) • Zoledronic acid (Reclast, Zometa)
Antacids, ferrous salts, bismuth subsalicylate, sucralfate and zinc salts reduce bioavailability of gatifloxacin. May increase digoxin plasma levels. Probenecid, cimetidine and loop diuretics increase gatifloxacin levels. NSAIDs may increase the risk of CNS stimulation and convulsions. Concurrent use of bepridil, cisapride, erythromycin, pentamidine, phenothiazines, or TCAs may prolong QT interval. Concurrent corticosteroid therapy may increase the risk of tendon rupture. Increased risk of hypoglycaemia when used with oral antidiabetic agents. May enhance hypoprothrombinaemic effects of oral anticoagulants.
