Hi Everyone,
In India it's common to prescribe the bisphosphonate Risedronate (Actonel) to older men after THR. I see that this drug is normally used to prevent osteoporosis in post menopausal women, and wonder if it's advisable to take in my case, particularly as I'm both male and have had (and still have a tendency to having) peptic ulcers.
Any advice would be gratefully received. And HOORAY, staples out today, and I'm down to one crutch two weeks post-op.
Thanks,
Nick
