Osteoporosis Treatments and Medications, Part II
Description (as found on YouTube posting)
The 2026 World Congress on Osteoporosis just completed in April 2026 with expert presenters from around the world including Dr. Michael McClung, Dr. Bente Langdahl, Dr. Serge Ferrari, and Dr. Jean-Yves Reginster to name a few. This training includes updates on osteoporosis medications including Evenity, Tymlos, Forteo, Prolia / Jubbonti (denosumab), Reclast, Fosamax, and Estrogen. You'll also get a deeper look into how the medications work and a look at the latest trial data leading up to the 2026 World Congress on Osteoporosis.
My goal is osteoporosis patient education enabling you to work with your doctor for the best treatment. I attend top trainings in the osteoporosis field and present a series of trainings summarizing important information that is helpful for patients to know when they work with their doctors to develop a treatment plan. THIS IS NOT MEDICAL ADVICE AND I AM NOT A DOCTOR, I am an engineer, a researcher, and a patient with osteoporosis offering education so you can work with your doctor.
You’re not alone. -- Stay strong and do your best to stay fracture free --
