shail,
Do some research before you start drug treatment. This is a complicated disease with complicated treatment options.
Two experts in the field are Dr Lani Simpson and Dr Keith McCormick. They both have books, websites, do consultations, etc.
Sadly, I would also caution
you to not trust your doctor to be educated about osteoporosis unless he/she IS educated about it.
The first doctor that attempted to treat me for osteoporosis was my gynecologist. She was uneducated about it.
Later, I had an endocrinologist who was treating a lot of osteoporosis patients, but who was uneducated about it. I attempted to give him Dr McCormick’s book, but he refused to take it.
Now, I see a rheumatologist who is on top of treatments.
I have been fortunate with treatment. I had. Year of Evenity followed by an infusion of Reclast. I went from osteoporosis to osteopenia. Also, had no side effects.
At 73, I still have to figure out every next step.

It’s so confusing, isn’t it, all the treatment options and like was said previously, the timing of the different meds is vital. If you can find a doctor in your area that specializes in BONE health, not just any old PCP or endocrinologist, that’s where you should get better advice. Most of these health professionals have not educated themselves enough about the complexities of osteoporosis treatment and they really shouldn’t be prescribing medications that are not right for your particular case.
You can also begin to learn more yourself and how to ask the right questions by reading such books as “Great Bones” by Dr Keith McCormick. I wish you health and wisdom!!
