This drug binds sclerostin, a regulatory factor in bone metabolism. Sclerostin inhibition increases bone formation and, to a lesser extent, decreases bone resorption. It is indicated for osteoporosis treatment in postmenopausal women at high risk for fracture, defined as a history of osteoporotic fracture or multiple risk factors for fracture. It is also indicated for patients who have failed or are intolerant to other available osteoporosis therapy. What is the name of the drug

new supplement, "A” has been introduced as a potential intervention to reduce the risk of osteoporotic fractures in postmenopausal women. A randomized controlled trial was conducted to assess the efficacy of “A” compared to a placebo in preventing osteoporotic fractures.In the trial, 800 postmenopausal women were randomly assigned to two groups. Group A received "A”, while Group B received a placebo. After two years of supplementation, the occurrence of osteoporotic fractures was recorded. In Group A, 30 women experienced osteoporotic fractures, while in Group B, 10 women had similar events.1. Calculate the relative risk of experiencing an osteoporotic fracture for postmenopausal women in Group A "A” compared to Group B (placebo). Use the provided data: 30 osteoporotic fractures in Group A and 10 in Group B. 2. Interpret the calculated relative risk & Discuss the implications of this result on the potential effectiveness and safety of "A” in reducing the risk of osteoporotic…
