I heard this in the news this morning and immediately thought…. What will the side effects be?? 😣 what are the interactions? Is it good news or…?

Exactly what I was thinking... cheaper fix at our expense?... I'll stick with the HRT

I wonder why we are so sceptical 😳

It's the way the news cover it as if we will all be rounded up and jabbed...sorted!

I think its aimed at those who have suffered side effects on other osteoporosis meds. That said though there are side effects with everything. I was curious when I saw the figure of 14k high risk women, how do they decide who is high risk, who gets an assessment? Surely prevention is better than cure.

Discounted to the NHS, but nearly £300 per day and to be used daily, excluding Vat , before discount! Don't think many will be offered it. HRT much cheaper.

It says they have done a deal.... probably costing the NHS £400 a day 😬

Just makes the lack of T3 prescribing even more none sensical when low T3 if awful for your bones too!!
