    Heath professionals are applauding Pharmac's move to increase funding for a game-changing Osteoporosis drug

    Heath professionals are applauding Pharmac's move to increase funding for a game-changing Osteoporosis drug


    Thanks to an increased Government medicine budget, the drug-buying agency's announced bone strengthening medication Denosumab will be available for 2000 more people.

    Osteoporosis NZ Clinical Programme Director Christine Gill says it's a necessary move, and with our ageing population, more people are set to benefit.
