In this episode, Dr. Doug discusses the popular drug Prolia (Denosumab) used for the treatment of osteoporosis. He focuses on the risk of fracture after stopping the drug and addresses the fear surrounding it. Dr. Doug presents research from the FREEDOM trial, which showed a reduction in vertebral fractures with Prolia but also a reduction in bone building. He then discusses the 10-year data from the trial, which showed an increased risk of vertebral fractures after discontinuing the drug. Dr. Doug reassures listeners that with a solid plan and monitoring, the risk can be managed.

=======================

This channel is focused on Bones, Hormones, and Healthspan to help midlife women and beyond aim for optimal, not average, and reignite their spark!

The videos on this channel will be focused around helping women navigate healthspan and longevity through the lens of osteoporosis, perimenopause, and menopause. When it comes to osteoporosis and menopause providers and educators often get tunnel vision and your symptoms might get better, but if you don't keep longevity in mind, symptom improvement may come at the expense of heart and brain health.

Subscribe and follow along as Dr. Doug Lucas explores the research and clinical applications surrounding women's health.
