Renal Toxicity of Estrogen and Zoledronic Acid | Listen
This podcast explores recent research in assessing the safety of commonly used medication. Where safety is concerned, the use of larger registries and cohort studies becomes increasingly important. The studies highlighted in this podcast look at the safety of two commonly used medications often taken by postmenopausal women: oral estrogen therapy and the bisphosphonate zoledronic acid.
