After searching PubMed for the topic osteoporosis and medication use, I checked the National Guideline Clearinghouse (NGC). I have researched at this site in the past and referred family and friends to it as well. I used the advanced practice nurses and guideline categories as limits at this site, and glanced at nine specific results. I looked at the Management of osteoporosis in postmenapausal women: 2010 position statement of the North American Menopause Society. Recommendations as well as listing the type of evidence supporting the recommendations is included at the site in an easy to use format. I googled osteoporosis and medication and of course had a lot of results. I scrolled through Google Scholar and recognized several articles from the PubMed site. Google included some topics I was not expecting such as how to pay for your medications which could be helpful. It also contained advertisements for medications. I always find the NGC helpful. I hesitate to use Google much because I feel the databases such as PubMed and CINAL are more pertinent to practice. If I want to refer a lay person to a reliable site presented in an easy but accurate and understandable form, I send them to mayoclinic.com.
