Undecided choice of drugs for Osteoporosis

Did your doc or pharmacist tell you these meds caused your osteopororis? I find any mention of steroids, even 4mg for two days, causes some docs to tell me it is bad for bones. My rheumatologist denied this. I don't know either but I do know that the meds you mention are absorbed mainly locally. For me, age and cancer meds that eliminated estrogen were the culprits.

Osteoporosis meds can be very helpful and hoping you can stay on your COPD meds too.

Re your first question re whether I was told that the meds I was taking for COPD were implicated in my osteoporosis, no. I have always done my own reearch & finding contraindications for Advair & Incruse re osteoporosis wasn/t difficult.

I'll be seeing my family doctor on Friday & we will have a lot to talk about! I don.t know whether I mentioned it earlier but when I asked him in October what his recommendation was following the results of the latest bone density scan, he right away said "Reclast." I had never heard of it at that point so I was noncommital but at the moment I don't want to start with that.

I tried getting Ben Leder yesterday but the picture & sound were really bad, so I gave up.

Thank you again!!!
