Abstract: Osteoporosis is a skeletal disorder predominantly affecting postmenopausal women. Combination therapy of Carbocalcitonin (Elcatonin) and oral conjugated oestrogens (Premarin) not only prevents postmenopausal bone loss but leads to an increase in bone mass in normal early postmenopausal women. The aims of the study was to investigate the effect of combination therapy. A combination of Elcatonin (Carbo calcitonin) and Premarin was compared to Premarin alone, and to Elcatonin (Carbocalcitonin) alone and all groups were then compared to a control group.

Although experimenting unscientifically, a useful therapeutic measure was occasionally discovered. Man on the Maltese Islands until relatively recent times set great value on natural chemical substances for use in natural remedies, very often in association with religious beliefs and folklore. In spite of the limitations of species number, reptiles and amphibians have been regarded as having powers of healing or alternatively as bringing on disease.
