Description
1 study reviewed
In plain English

In postmenopausal women taking intermittent doses of dasatinib and quercetin for 20 weeks, no serious side effects were reported, but many experienced mild side effects such as headaches and stomach issues.

See the scientific wording

Intermittent dasatinib plus quercetin is safe in postmenopausal women over 20 weeks, with no serious adverse events reported despite a high rate of mild side effects including headache (53%) and gastrointestinal complaints.

Why this might work

A combination of two drugs removes old, damaged cells in the body, which lowers a protein that blocks bone growth. This allows bone-building cells to work more actively, leading to stronger bones over time.
