Abstract     In the last decade a lot has been discused and writen about osteoporosis. There are many reasons for that. We know the processes of formation and decomposition of bones as well as methods wick help us determine the loss of bone mass. We have drugs for prevention and treatment of the disease. The number of patients suffering from osteoporosis is increasing, wich can be attributed to a longer life expectancy of the population. All these reasons show the need for the introduction of a model of pharmaceutical care for the patients suffering from osteoporosis. The pharmacist can play an important role in the phase of prevention and treatment of such patients. She/he is always available and therefore has the opportunity to detect patients with a higher risk or those who have already fallen ill. The pharmacist counsels wick drugs to choose for prevention or advises the patient to visit a doctor. And it is the counceling about the right drug and its safe intake that provides the basis of a successful treatment.
