Hello everyone,
I have been wondering whether calcium channel blocker medications used to lower blood pressure have an adverse effect on bone density. I have been taking felodipne for several years and have recently been diagnosed with osteopenia. Has anyone else taking similar meds experienced the same thing?x
I've just done a google search and come up with contradictory conclusions (as ever!): ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articl... and blog.content.health.harvard.... It might be worth discussing it with your GP.
I've been taking Felopipine for several years too, since before OP diagnosis. Makes you wonder!
It does.maybe worth switching?x
Strontium, is it helpful for bone density?
