Hi Dr. Gonter: Nice informative blog! I've heard that some people use miacalcin for pain, have you any knowledge of this and if it works?

Hi Dr. G: Thanks for giving me the information I was looking for. Is it only used for severe vertebral fractures, or can it be used for pain from other spinal problem in conjunction with other osteo meds?

Thanks again...

If the patient has GERD or similar with oral bph meds why not try a SERM i.e. Evista? If pt. is osteoporotic then miacalcin will do as much as calcium.
