Q: Is this medication also for osteoARTHRITIS which is not really osteoporosis?

Please explain why this medication is restricted to osteoporosis.  Does it ALSO apply to OsteoArthritis? I would prefer one of your staff responds, who is conversant with any difference between the two conditions.  Please be clear about any DANGERS of taking this medication.

 

Also, is there any literature on line detailing your product more?

Hi Kti, welcome and thanks for your question.  I'm not sure what product you are referring to?  Could you repost with the name?  I can't find a drug name in your post.

 

Osteoporosis medications are not generally used for osteoarthritis since they are two different types of disorders.

 

If you could provide more info we'll try to help.

 

Thanks and good luck.

Hi kti:  Here's a really good video explanation of the difference of osteoporosis and osteoarthritis.  Follow this link and play the video titled "Osteoporosis and Osteoarthritis Video."  This video is from our Wellsphere site here at HealthCentral.

This should help anyone who doesn't understand the difference from these totally different medical disorders.
