What is Osteoporosis?
Osteoporosis is a condition that weakens bones, making them porous and fragile, where even mild falls or stresses can cause them to break. It is a common condition affecting around three million people in the UK.
Bone, a living tissue, is constantly being broken down and replaced, however with osteoporosis the creation of new bone is no longer able to keep up with the removal of old bone. Fractures of the wrist, hip and vertebrae are the most common type of breaks for people affected.
Usually it comes with no warning, developing slowly over years. Treatment options include supplements to strengthen the bones and prevent future fractures.
Typically osteoporosis doesn’t cause any symptoms in the early stages. It develops slowly over years, once the bones become porous and weak, it results in a stress fracture, giving first signs of osteoporosis.
Symptoms in more advanced stages include;
- Back pain, caused by a fractured or collapsed vertebra
- Loss of height over time
- A stooped posture when the spine is unable to support the weight of the body.
- Bone fractures that occur with even mild stress
Our bones gives us our built, mobility and strength, it is important to look after them.Increasingly, especially as people are aging, bones are losing density becomingporous and fragile over years. It is important to determine your risk of developingosteoporosis, and avoid its long-term consequences such as frequent bone fractures,back pain and a stooped posture, especially if you experience unsual aches andpains.

Yes I recommend this company.I was a little skeptical about using the company, especially when they asked so many questions to begin with. A health check, specific answers to questions i.e. height, weight, blood pressure, any operations and the tablets I chose from their site were not available. They recommended another type, and I received an email explaining this. I did find their website a little daunting when talking to Doctors, and not sure just what they required from me before they agreed to let me have the tablets. I telephoned the company and the receptionist was extremely pleasant. The outcome of emails, phone calls and filling in forms was that the tablets were approved for me and within a very few days I received them. The price was good and once over the initial worry about whether I had done the right thing dealing online, I was very pleased indeed.
EXCELLENT, Would recommend to anyone without hesitationThe products I received were of one of the highest and well known, brand so I knew exactly what I was taking. Having kept details from a previous order the online form was very easy and quick to finalise and the delivery was second to none.
This is a recommendation to anyone considering using this company....I have found using this site extremely easy to use.....I ordered my purchase which was dealt with immediately and I received my goods within a couple of days
Excellent service. Would recommend to anyone. I will continue to use the company without hesitation.
Excellent service.Really pleased, wish I'd known about this online pharmacy option for repeat medication sooner, would have saved a fortune.
Arrived in two days, well packaged, genuine product.
Biggest help! :)Perfect service! Really helps and medication gets delivered quickly, I struggle to find time to go and repeat my prescriptions in small doses but online surgery is easy to access and the sizes are bigger!
Excellent serviceI needed prescription medication for a recurring problem I have. Quick and effective service, certainly beats all the hassle of getting it from my GP practice.
Really quick to accept my order and was available to pick up the same day as stated.
Fast and efficientDealt with my order fast and efficient. Kept me up to date regularly with the progress. Excellent service thank you.
Easy to use web site and next day delivery, excellent service. However padded envelope could be thicker, my carton was squashed although contents unharmed. I would definitely use the company again.
Simple, Easy, PerfectPlacing an order is made so simple and takes no time at all then wait for the approval email and your done, couldn't be easier, sit back and wait for the order to arrive. The service is great if like me you need to have a small stock of medication due to living in another country or travelling for extended periods for work neither of which the G.P. services or the NHS seem to understand or care about thank god for the online surgery
Very pleased new user to the On Line Surgery site.I was very impressed with the service
I was very pleased with the order of my first prescription from The On-line Surgery.
The site was easy to use and the medical questionnaire very efficient. The surgery even phoned me about something which surprised me in this day of text communication only.
I was informed the prescription had been dispatched and it arrived promptly.
I would certainly recommend the On Line Surgery, and intend to reorder my prescription when required.
At a time when it is often difficult to get to a doctors surgery or order a prescription and wait days to collect it , I think this is an excellent alternative.
reassuring servicevery efficient speedy service. i found the health questionaire useful and reassuring.
would certainly buy from them again
Excellent serviceI had a really painful tooth abscess and couldn't get a dental appointment for three weeks, I needed antibiotics so searched for an online GP. The whole process of ordering the tablets was very easy and I was reassured by the questions I was asked before my order was approved and released. It wasn't a great deal to pay for the relief from the pain and delivery was on time. I would recommend this service especially these days when it's so hard to get a health appointment.
First Class Service for busy peopleThe Online Surgery is an excellent idea and offers a superb service for busy people suffering from (in my case), an acute medical condition. In addition, they offer a variety of services that can be found by visiting the new website.
Anyone who has ever experienced a UTI knows how suddenly symptoms can develop and how easily they can get out of control. It is not uncommon to be told by one's GP practice that there is a two week (or more) wait for an appointment. The only option then is to go to a walk-in clinic attached to a hospital and wait for hours to be seen. As a teacher I cannot take time off work to do this. Discovering TheOnlineSurgery enabled me to request the antibiotics for my condition which arrived in the post the following day. The service is superb.
I have since recommended them to many of my friends and my daughter. It is straightforward to register and the service is second to none. I will most certainly use them again should the need arise. Thank you for offering this much needed service.
Excellent service when difficult to get doctors appointment and know what the problem is
Absolutely brilliant service to save very expensive consultant fees, not to mention the time saved, for routine medication.
A real alternative to long appointment waiting times.This is, surprisingly, a genuine & efficient service for anyone faced with the need to obtain medication quickly & online.
Am very happy with the service and know that checks are performed before medication is prescribed.Response to my request was very quick. Although there was a bit of difficulty with my Health Questionnaire not being received initially Online Surgery were quick to let me know by telephone. Once I had completed the Questionnaire again, I received my order next day.
ExcellentNo problem. Simple questionnaire. Prompt delivery. Good price. I would use them again and would recommendthem.
