News summary

The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) has approved a new osteoporosis treatment, Abaloparatide, for NHS use in England, which is expected to benefit over 14,000 post-menopausal women at high risk of fractures. This drug, marketed as Eladynos by Theramex, is administered as a daily at-home injection and works by stimulating bone production to increase density. Osteoporosis affects around 3.8 million people in the UK, leading to significant healthcare costs and personal suffering due to fractures. NICE emphasizes that Abaloparatide has been found to be clinically and cost-effective, addressing a critical need for new treatments in this demographic. The approval reflects growing recognition of the debilitating impacts of osteoporosis on women's lives, as noted by healthcare professionals and patient representatives. The drug will be available within three months, providing a new hope for those who have not responded to existing treatments.
