Not so sure about the children. It isn't recommeded for children whose bones are still growing. It is given to kids with hypocalcemia. But the dosage is titrated by weight. And given more frequently by infusion.

Maybe you are right? I didn’t challenge her when she answered my question that way. Look her up. She has done lots of research on osteoporosis and hyperparathyroid. Her name is Dr. Aliyah Khan in Oakville, Ontario, Canada. Having said that, she is the endocrinologist who gave me the prescription and said “come see me in two years, your family doctor can look after you in the meantime”. Her listed scholarly achievements are impressive, which is why I chose her. But unfortunately she is spread too thin to answer all my questions or closely follow me. I’m waiting for her to answer an email with a list of questions!
