@dvargo The treatment for osteoporosis is very complicated and nuanced. The decision to change a medication is based on many factors. These include established protocols and sequencing based on ongoing research with the determinant factors being optimized results with minimal negative side effects, and the individual patient's response as evidenced by labs, imaging, and self-reporting. A medication is not stopped because testing and research on it have stopped. Testing is ongoing.

@hollygs What I meant is your doctor can only keep you on it in regards to the testing. For example Tymlos was in clinical trials for 2 years, so after that you are switched to a different drug. Boniva is only tested up to 3 years, so after that they usually move you to Reclast and so on and so on. I hope that makes sense.
