(NC)-Are you confused about the best treatment and management of osteoporosis now that Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is not the gold standard?
The crippling bone-disease, osteoporosis, is a major health concern in Canada: one-in-four women over age 50 has osteoporosis, and one-in-eight men. When caught early however, osteoporosis can be treated effectively - and when it comes to prevention, getting sound information to women is a valuable step. On Thursday, Nov. 6, Shoppers Drug Mart is holding Osteoporosis Day at all locations in Canada. Their HealthWATCH pharmacists will conduct one-on-one sessions with women who are either taking medication for the disease, or for women who want to find out if they are at risk. For those taking medication, the pharmacist will suggest ways to improve therapy results by assessing proper administration of the medication; will suggest ways to minimize side effects and may recommend alternative prescription medications that are easier to take. For women who want to find out if they are at risk - generally those 45-plus - pharmacists will discuss the major, minor, and modifiable risk factors as well as available therapy options.
Shoppers Drug Mart is partnering with the Osteoporosis Society of Canada for this important health event. Consultations are scheduled individually so contact your neighbourhood Shoppers Drug Mart before Nov. 6 for an appointment.
