Pharmacist's Tip
Several services* related to body health are offered in pharmacy:
- Medication prescription and adjustment for pain management
- Advice on vitamins and supplements to prevent osteoporosis
- Advice on over-the-counter medications
*These services are offered at participating pharmacies only.
PREVENTION OF OSTEOPOROSIS
We speak of osteoporosis when the bones become more fragile. In affected people, the bones gradually lost their density. They therefore fracture more easily.
