Tramadol, a drug with more than 16 million U.S. prescriptions last year, is often viewed as the "safer opioid." However, new evidence suggests that perception is not just flawed, but dangerous. Pharmacist, Dante DiMatteo (PharmD), looks at the risks, including cardiac events and seizures, why it's still used, and what non-opioid pain solutions actually help.
What's in the Bottle? New bone health products: Bone Base Essentials and Bone PRO Essentials! Pharmacist Joey DiMatteo (PharmD) takes us through what each product is specifically designed to do, who they're for, and how to use them. Whether you're trying to rebuild bone denisty or just keep the healthy bones you have, there's a lot more to bone health than calcium. Joey talks through bone resorption & remodeling, osteoclasts, osteoblasts, and why protein is probably more important than calcium.
