Greetings,

A recent news story indicated that long term use of Nexium or Prilosec
showed to increase the chances
of breaking a hip in older patients.

Can anyone confirm this? I'm a 57 yo male who can control acid reflux
w/Prilosec OTC.
However, over the past 5 years I've had several stress fractures
(metatarsal and fibula)
and a recent dexascan indicated slighly low bone density in the hip. I
have a appt w/an endocrinologist.
And I've recently started taking calcium supplements.

Suggestions?

Thanks,
Tim

If you do a literature search at www.pubmed.com and www.medscape.com (log-in
required) you will find the relevant publication. This has been in the news
worldwide.

I hope that you are taking calcium plus vitamin D.
