Fracture risk when starting blood pressure medication
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at whether starting a new blood pressure medicine might make you more likely to break a bone shortly after you start taking it. It is an observational study, meaning the researchers will just track people who are already starting these medicines to see if any fractures happen.
