METHOD AND COMPOSITION FOR TREATMENT OF OSTEOPOROSIS

摘要

A combination of the following active ingredients for treating osteoporosis: (a) a pharmacologically-acceptable alkalinizing potassium salt which produces hydroxyl ions and is thereby capable of reducing the acidity of tissue fluids or urine and which is selected from the group consisting of potassium bicarbonate and potassium salts of carboxylic acids which are transformed to bicarbonate and thus alkalinize in vivo; and (b) a thiazide diuretic.
