Yes, bone drugs. I used Calcitonin, Forteo & Fosamax. All increased bone density, but with more problems : developed allergy to Calcitonin, increased fractures & dental issues with latter 2.
That is not to discourage drug use—I had early onset osteoporosis diagnosed in 20s (undiagnosed celiac causing malnutrition & low estrogen), which means I never laid down normal bone density, plus I began to shed bone in my 30s with early menopause. My point is that osteoporosis treatment generally follows a cookie cutter, high insurance-paying formula —works for most women, but not every woman. Also lots of medical quacks & scammers ready to capitalize on women’s fear of aging, drug therapy, conventional medicine!
Just keep asking questions, relying on other women’s experiences (like this forum) & your own body.
