Osteoporosis treatment or strontium citrate?

After stopping any of the OP drugs, bone loss resumes. Without some other kind of intervention, bone turnover will gradually return to previous rates causing loss of the BMD gains. Prolia is an outlier here as the rate of bone loss is significantly faster after stopping treatment than it is with other drugs like bisphosphonates. @windyshores is that what you were talking about? Please correct me if I'm wrong.

@surah and @hopefullibrarian Reclast lasts a long time in the body and is used to "lock in" gains from the other drugs. It is an anti-resorptive and also coats bones apparently. It is okay to take a drug holiday from it as long as monitoring is done.

After any of the other drugs, we are asked to take Reclast or, if not tolerated, Fosamax or Actonel.
