RESUMEN
El objetivo principal en el tratamiento de la osteoporosis es prevenir la aparición de las fracturas por fragilidad y con ello reducir su morbimortalidad. Entre los diversos abordajes terapéuticos de esta enfermedad se incluye asegurar una ingesta apropiada de calcio y obtener unos niveles adecuados de vitamina D. Prácticamente todos los ensayos clínicos con fármacos utilizados en el tratamiento de la osteoporosis incluyen la administración de suplementos de calcio y de vitamina D de manera sistemática. A la luz de la publicación de recientes ensayos clínicos y metanálisis, existe la hipótesis de un posible aumento del riesgo cardiovascular en los pacientes que toman suplementos de calcio, sobre todo en forma de infarto de miocardio. Sin embargo, los datos publicados hasta la fecha no son concluyentes. Hasta la obtención de nuevas evidencias científicas, parece razonable recomendar, siempre que sea factible e individualizando para cada paciente, aumentar el aporte de calcio con los alimentos y reservar los suplementos para aquellos pacientes con ingesta de calcio muy bajas en la dieta. Además, sería recomendable que la administración total diaria se realizara de forma fraccionada y con las comidas, así como también es básico obtener unos niveles apropiados de vitamina D (25 hidroxicolecalciferol o calcidiol), añadido todo ello al tratamiento de base de la osteoporosis que se decida prescribir a cada paciente (AU)
ABSTRACT
The primary goal of osteoporosis treatment is to prevent the occurrence of fragility fractures, and thereby reduce morbidity and mortality. Among the various approaches to the treatment of this disease include ensuring proper calcium intake and to obtain adequate levels of vitamin D. Virtually all clinical trials with drugs used to treat osteoporosis systematically include calcium and vitamin D supplements. In light of the recent publication of clinical trials and meta-analyses, a possible increase in cardiovascular risk, particularly in the form of a myocrdial infarction, is hypothesised in patients taking calcium supplements. However, data published to date are inconclusive. Until the development of new scientific evidence, it seems reasonable to recommend, whenever practicable and individualized for each patient, increasing calcium intake with food and reserve supplements for patients with very low calcium intake in the diet. It would also be advisable for the administration of total daily dose to be fractionated throughout the day and with meals, and to obtain appropriate levels of vitamin D (25-hydroxycholecalciferol or calcidiol), along with the basic treatment for osteoporosis that is decided to be prescribed to patients (AU)
