Glucocorticoid-Induced Osteoporosis

Staff | June 1, 2008

Osteoporosis is a condition of weak bone caused by a loss of bone mass and a change in bone structure. Glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis is a form of osteoporosis caused by taking glucocorticoid medications, such as prednisone (Deltasone, Orasone, etc.), prednisolone (Prelone), dexamethasone (Decadron, Hexadrol), and cortisone (Cortone Acetate). These medications are used to help control many rheumatic diseases, including RA, systemic lupus erythematosus, and polymyalgia rheumatica.
