While there are medications available to manage osteoporosis after a diagnosis, there aren't specific preventive medications for the condition. However, promoting bone health through calcium and vitamin D intake, weight-bearing exercises, avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol, and fall prevention measures can help reduce the risk of developing osteoporosis. It's important to consult with a healthcare provider for personalized advice and recommendations.
