    , Pharmacist, at BioPro Biologics Pharmacy Vancouver in Vancouver, BC commented on: Osteoporosis Treatment.

    If we are looking at what's happening in our population, in Canada, 1 in 3 women will suffer an osteoporotic fracture in their lifetime and it is only a little less in men at 1 in 5. Those who survive a hip fracture, 17% will go to a long-term care facility because they cannot return to living at home. The best thing to do is to discuss with your healthcare provider and identify your risk of fracture. If it is deemed to be high, you should take actions to reduce your risk, this may include ensuring an adequate calcium intake, vitamin D, regular weight-bearing exercise, and in higher risk situations or if you have had an osteoporotic fracture already, to begin prescription medications which help to preserve and strengthen bone to reduce the fracture risk.

    Dr. Alan Low

    , Pharmacist, at BioPro Biologics Pharmacy Vancouver in Vancouver, BC commented on: Chicken Pox and Its Link To Shingles " Monica 51-years-old a new grandmother ".

    About 90% of people born before 1995 have had chicken pox, and about one-third of these people develop shingles when they are older, generally at ages over 50. Although there has been a shingles vaccine available for many years, the uptake of the vaccine has been low in those who need it, around 30% received the vaccine (depending on what area is being measured). A new vaccine was introduced earlier this year which showed a very high effectiveness rate in clinical trials. The new vaccine, called Shingrix, in a study evaluating over 15,000 subjects who were aged 50 and up, found the vaccine reduced the number of people developing shingles from about 91 people per 10,000 to 6 people per 10,000 which is over a 90% reduction in the incidence of shingles. Those over 50 may want to speak with their healthcare professional about being vaccinated against shingles and discuss the benefits and risks of the new vaccine. Your pharmacist, in most jurisdictions, can provide not only information, but also the injection without the need for a prescription from your physician. If you have health insurance benefits which may cover the vaccine, you may require a prescription.
