Ahnold’s Femur: Steroids or Stomach Acid?
From the Snarky-Comment-Slash-Breaking-Medical-Studies Department:
My governor broke his femur . I was going to recommend that he go back on the anabolic steroids, as they help bone mass (corticosteroids hurt bone mass and cause osteoporosis), but then I saw that stomach acid reducers (proton pump inhibitors like Nexium, Protonix, and Omeprazole) can cause decreased calcium absorption . Maybe the poor guy just has bad heartburn. And that I can empathize with.
