OSTEOPOROSIS DRUGS are overprescribed !!!!!!

http://www.yahoo.com/s/787060

Another Scam !!!!!!!

BONIVA ad on TV is so bad that inspite of being a CAPITALIST. I cannot defend it. It only prevents vertebral fractures and not HIP fractures which are more serious.

Fosamax and Actonel are wrongly prescribed which people take for variety of reasons. help with BONE HEALTH and everything else.

THEY are good only to lower risk of fracture in Elderly frail women who are at risk for Falls who have OSTEOPOROSIS and not MILD OSTEOPENIA. Middle aged women taking the drug for BONE HEALTH get minimal benefit.
