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!!
