I am not an expert but my ALP increased after I stated taking Tymlos, which the bone clinic tested for bcause it is pretty common. However, increased levels can be associated with both bone building and bone breakdown, so it is hard to know exactly what increased levels mean.

I have an increased ALP (but I do not take yet medicines for osteoporosis) and doctors could not understand why as their idea was that I had a problem with liver. I read a literature and it seems that elevated ALP is common in osteoporotic patients (as I am). But I also met the opinion that the level of ALP can serve as biomarker for evaluating of the efficacy of medicines for osteoporosis. Here you can read:
