Barton Osteoporosis & Bone Health observational study — now enrolling patients

Barton Osteoporosis & Bone Health physician, William Cottrell, MD, has partnered with Amgen pharmaceuticals to conduct an observational study to evaluate the drug Prolia (denosumab) – a medication approved by the FDA in July 2010 to treat postmenopausal women diagnosed with osteoporosis.

“At Lake Tahoe, we live in a relatively healthy community and people are always surprised to find out that osteoporosis can effect them too,” Cottrell explains. “Patients often think that since their overall health is good, the last thing on their mind is if their bones are thin.”
