Osteoporosis and Medications: Top 5 Things to Know

Description

For those living with osteoporosis, there are a variety of treatment options available. The primary goal of treatment is to prevent or slow bone loss and reduce the risk of fracture.

Everyone is different – some people respond better to one drug than another, while some experience side effects that others don’t. It’s important to speak to your doctor to assess the benefits and risks of each treatment, and determine which is best for you.

Join Dr. Teri Charrois, BScPharm, MSc, EdD who will share information on the top 5 things that you should know about osteoporosis and medications:

· How do medications work
· How to take medications to make sure they work
· What side effects do we worry about
· What medications can cause bone loss or fractures
· What medications can increase your risk of falls
