E-drug: Osteoporosis treatment  
---------------------------------------------

A set of Canadian guidelines has recently been released. They can be found  
in  
the following article: Scientific Advisory Board, Osteoporosis Society of  
Canada. Clinical practice guidelines for the diagnosis and management of  
osteoporosis. Can Med Assoc J 1996;155:1113-33.

Also the third edition of Drugs of Choice which should be out around the  
end of  
June has an extensive set of recommendations for drug therapy for  
osteoporosis. Anyone interested in seeing them could contact me directly.
