Medical Minute

In this week’s Medical Minute, Dr. Joseph Hobbs, Chair Emeritus of the Department of Family Medicine at the Medical College of Georgia at Augusta University, discusses potentially problematic side effects of a largely effective, inexpensive drug used to treat those at risk of fractures from osteoporosis, the bone weakening condition typically associated with aging.
