Looking for input on 2nd opinion after 3 years of Alendronate

@oopsiedaisy thanks. I have read that study a couple of times, and it was posted very recently by @gently. It still doesn't answer my question about comparing dosing. The two meds are different in some ways yet posts tend to say that Forteo is lower dose. I am going to ask my doctor if dosage comparisons are apples to apples or apples to orange!

Seeing as they are completely different in chemical composition, I can’t see how their dosages could be considered equivalent. It would be like comparing two different calcium channel blockers that have different dosages even though their mechanism of action is similar.
I’m speaking from my experience as a former critical care RN.
Do let us know what your doctor says, though.
