A member asked:
How would fragmin (dalteparin) encourage osteoporosis if taken for no more than one year? is this of high concern? can it be prevented?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not of high concern: There are studies suggesting low molecular weight heparins cause osteoporosis. The risk is so low (one figure cites 0.91%) that porphylaxis with osteoporsis meds has not been proposed.
