Treatment of Paget's disease of bone.

Abstract:

:A brief review is given of the use of fluoride, mithramycin, glucagon, actinomycin D, calcitonins and diphosphonates for treatment of Paget's disease of bone. The decision regarding treatment, effectiveness of the drugs, the incidence of side effects and assessment of clinical, biochemical, histological, radiological and thermographic responses are discussed.
