My doc put me on a one-year Atelvia holiday. Atlevia is a bisphosphate.
Then she did the Dexa and blood tests and I am starting the Atelvia again.
I assume that is a "good" result -- no need to go on the shots or infusions but I didn't ask.

Hi @researchmaven how long did you take altevia before you take a holiday? Is this your only bone med?
Does altevia upset your stomach? Do you have to take it on an empty stomach and be upright for one hour? I’m asking because most other oral bisphosphonates have strict instruction for patients to protect GI tract. Any info would be very helpful. Thanks a lot!
