Osteoperosis Drugs and cancer

Not long ago I posted an article about the excess use of these drugs and side effects (September 2014)

In another recent study, researchers found that, looking at a group of almost 90,000 women, there was a 25% increased risk of endometrial cancer (of the uterus) in users. Although the total incidence was rare, I find this especially worrisome since many older women no longer get regular PAP tests or examinations.

I still think that these drugs have a place, but should only be used where the benefits outweigh the risks, and not seemingly haphazardly as they are prescribed these days (to the delight of the pharmaceutical accountants).
