PHL (V) - How To Maintain Your Bone Health - A Virtual Event (2pm ET)


How To Maintain Your Bone Health

Mona Al Mukaddam, MD, MS
Director, Penn Bone Center

Christopher Hvisdas, PharmD
Lead Pharmacist, Penn Bone Center

University of Pennsylvania, Penn Bone Center

Osteoporosis is a silent disease.  The first symptom of osteoporosis is often a painful fracture; therefore, it is imperative to evaluate and treat osteoporosis as early as possible, ideally before a fracture occurs.  

Dr. Al Mukaddam will speak on the causes and prevention of osteoporosis and fractures.  She will also discuss osteopenia, a condition that begins as you lose bone mass and your bones get weaker.   

Dr. Hvisdas will speak on medications used to treat either or both of these conditions.
