Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Paget's disease is characterized by abnormal bone remodeling, resulting in weakened and deformed bones. Bisphosphonates, such as risedronate, are the first-line treatment for Paget's disease as they can inhibit bone resorption and lead to increased bone density. Calcitonin-salmon and teriparatide may also be used in certain cases, but raloxifene is not indicated for the treatment of Paget's disease.
