I have a patient who is a 50 y/o white female. Last year I saw her for a yearly and ordered a baseline dexa because of a family history of osteoporosis and her hx of surgical menapause 15 years ago. She had originally been on premarin 1.25, later .9, now .625. The scan revealed osteopenia in her spine and osteoporosis in her hips. I started her on fosimax 20 mg daily, 1500 mg calcuim daily, and advised daily weight-bearing exercise. Patient returns this year. States has not done well with taking fosimax (heartburn, inconvenient time--a.m. dosing). Physician consultant suggested Evista. In the past I only used it for patients in whom estrogen was contraindicated. If used, would premarin be discontinued? Lenora McCall, CNM

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
