The home page should have 3 collumns below the header. The right collumn has “Our Videos” above “Helpful Links”.
The 4 videos are listed just below “Our Videos”. Click on each one.

Thanks for taking the time from what must be a busy schedule to write this blog. I read all your posts for this year and the posts on your Aunt! Checked out some of your earlier posts on Forteo, as that is probably in my future. My most excellent doctor would like me on it now, but being just recently retired, my husband and I are on a travel kick to countries where keeping the Forteo cold, for an extended time, would be impossible. This post mentions “Our Videos”. I can’t find a link to them….looked in the “top right” as mentioned. Thanks again.

I saw your blog site on Daily Challenge. Since I am pre-osteoporosis, I thought I would check it out.

Thanks for providing this.

I can prescribe anything I like.
The question is the co-pay

Can you advise the quarterly injection options for a bisphosphonate that promotes hip bone health, as an alterntive to Boniva injections (which apparently have not been FDA approved for addressing hip bone density)?

Also, can you summarize the options for weekly or monthly pill for bisphonsphonate that promote hip bone density in addition to spine and other bones?

Thanks.

Dr. Ginther, do you know if United Health Care permits you to prescribe the non-generic form of alendronate?

Comment on Prolia – A Different Antiresorptive by Dr. Ginther

Dr. Ginther — Fri, 02 Dec 2011 02:37:42 +0000

You need to discuss this issue with your dentist, who can evaluate your situation.
The good news here is that Prolia’s bone turnover suppression is fading at 6 months and TOTALLY GONE at 12 months.
Bisphosphonate effects will gradually dwindle over several years.
25-hydroxy Vit D, PTH and Calcium should be considered to be sure those issues are OK.
Bone turnover markers can be helpful , but only if you had baseline studies done BEFORE you started any Antiresorptive.
Again, talk this over carefully with your personal dental health professional.
