The average daily drug cost for patients in Ontario is only $2.50, a small portion of hospital expenses, he said, and in this area there is good coopera- tion between the hospital and local pharmacists. Turning to the topic of the day, Mr. Newson gave an in- formative talk on calcium requirements for humans, with special reference to loss of calcium which results in osteoporosis. This topic is being re- searched widely at this time and many questions cannot be answered, he said. Fre- quent articles are appearing on the subject and a certain amount of misinformation has appeared lately. He said we need to realize that loss of calcium 'is a complicated matter about which we are still learning. It is a matter of loss of bone mass affecting spine, hips and wrists, and it is very difficult to test bone mass. By the time . osteoporosis shows up, it is too late to reverse the damage. That is why it is very important to take preventive measures early. These re- quire attention to nutrition. More phosphorus may be needed, or Vitamin D, which helps the body absorb cal- cium. However too much Vitamin D can cause damage and it should not be taken in daily doses larger than 400 xU without consult- ing a physician e The role of sodium fluorid in preventing loss of calcium from the bones is being ex- plored, as is the calcium con- tent of unsoftened hard water. Treatment ,with estrogen is under study. The amount of calcium in- take during adolescence seems to have an important bearing on later conditions. Exercise is important to develop muscle support for --the--bonnes;--wa-lk rng- a nd swimming are especially helpful, together with use of a firm mattress. The chief protective measure is including plenty of milk in the diet, he said. Those with milk allergies should take supplements in> stead. Check the amounts of elemental calcium in pro- ducts, for instance dairy substitutes contain no calcium. , At least 1,400 or 1,500 mg of calcium per day is required in the post -menopausal years. A calcium check is not done unless asked for, but levels. of calciumin-the-blood-- should be checked with your doctor. The disease afflicts short people more often than tall, white people more often than black and womenmore often than men, Hence we deduce that short, white women should be especially wary, Mr. Newson said. Men are more apt to be affected after 70 years of age, but women much earlier. He said to remember that Toss of calcium is a,.problem about which we are still learning. Because it is such a complicated problem, con- sultation with your doctor is important. - Mrs. Marilyn `Wood ex- pressed appreciation to the speaker. She then presided over the business meeting. Four guests were welcomed, reports receivedand several items of new business dealt with.
