Annual Osteoporosis Treatment Approved
Who Has The Time?Poor Sally Field. What's to become of her now that her Boniva monthly dosing is so old school, so insanely frequent, so absolutely intrusive. After all, who has time to set aside time one day each month to take their osteoporosis medication? Hmm...
The FDA has given approval to Reclast, a once a year treatment for osteoporosis. Reclast is in the same class of drugs, bisphosphonates, as are its competitors, Fosamax, Boniva, and Actonel. Unlike these oral medications, Reclast is administered once each year by means of a 15-minute infusion.
Is this good news?
On the surface, it appears so. In a company-sponsored study, Reclast reduced the risk of spine fracture by 70%, at least 20% better than its oral counterparts. Physicians also point to the once per year dosing as a major advantage. Patients sometimes forget to take the oral medications and, as a result, their effectiveness is diminished. But...
The study also revealed that patients taking Reclast have an increased risk of developing atrial fibrillation. This is a condition in which the heart beats abnormally, and it places patients at a higher risk of stroke. Novartis, the manufacturer of Reclast, suggests the increased risk of atrial fibrillation is not associated with Reclast. Nevertheless, it's a piece of the puzzle to consider.
What's to become of Sally Field? Well, unfortunately, she's had to trim back her appearances quite drastically in recent months. It appears the strain of taking that Boniva tablet once each and every month has simply worn her down...

Irrespective of receiving daily oral or future injectable depot therapies, these require health care visits for medication and monitoring of safety and response. If patients are treated early enough, before a lot of immune system damage has occurred, life expectancy is close to normal, as long as they remain on successful treatment. However, when patients stop therapy, virus rebounds to high levels in most patients, sometimes associated with severe illness because i have gone through this and even an increased risk of death. The aim of “cure”is ongoing but i still do believe my government made millions of ARV drugs instead of finding a cure. for ongoing therapy and monitoring. ARV alone cannot cure HIV as among the cells that are infected are very long-living CD4 memory cells and possibly other cells that act as long-term reservoirs. HIV can hide in these cells without being detected by the body’s immune system. Therefore even when ART completely blocks subsequent rounds of infection of cells, reservoirs that have been infected before therapy initiation persist and from these reservoirs HIV rebounds if therapy is stopped. “Cure” could either mean an eradication cure, which means to completely rid the body of reservoir virus or a functional HIV cure, where HIV may remain in reservoir cells but rebound to high levels is prevented after therapy interruption.Dr Itua Herbal Medicine makes me believes there is a hope for people suffering from,Parkinson's disease,Schizophrenia,Lung Cancer,Breast Cancer,Colo-Rectal Cancer,Blood Cancer,Prostate Cancer,siva.Fatal Familial Insomnia Factor V Leiden Mutation ,Epilepsy Dupuytren's disease,Desmoplastic small-round-cell tumor Diabetes ,Coeliac disease,Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease,Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy, Ataxia,Arthritis,Amyotrophic Lateral Scoliosis,Fibromyalgia,Fluoroquinolone Toxicity
