Dr. Larkin's Perspective on Fosamax and Fractures
| The New York Times recently published an article detailing the negative effects the osteoporosis drug Fosamax has had on some patients, leading some to even resort to legal action. The full article can be read here.
"The bottom line is that these drugs benefit far more patients than they harm," says Dr. Lisa Larkin. "Patient selection is important and use of the medication should be reserved for patients at the highest risk of fracture. Patients should not panic and should not stop their medication without speaking to their physician. If you have concerns, schedule a visit in the office to review your bone density and the need for these medications." |
