A common blood pressure treatment may take a toll on your bones...
A new study from Griffin Hospital in Connecticut says powerful diuretics used to control blood pressure can rob bones of calcium.
That, researchers say, can lead to significant bone loss... putting you at risk of osteoporosis.
In fact, they found older men on diuretics are three times more likely to suffer bone loss than other men. That's based on data involving 3,300 men 65 and older -- eight percent of which take diuretics.
