Fosomax for osteoporosis

Posted by larrick @larrick, Dec 14 7:52am

Just took my first fosomax pill & im frightened of side effects. I tried it years ago & had to stop it..but the osteoporosis has worsened. I thought fosomax presented fewer side effects than other meds. I am over 80

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Osteoporosis & Bone Health Support Group.

@magert52 I took that 30-minute period to do YouTube meditations.

@larrick I took Fosamax for about four years, not a single side effect. Don’t lie down or eat for that 30 minutes. I think that’s probably the most important instruction to follow.

Wishing you success and healthy, strong bones to boot! 💪

@beachesanddreams Thank you! I stay pretty active through outdoor volunteer work in retirement, and also by hiking. I also get on the computer during the 30 minute waits - YouTube, news, games, etc, before other activities of the day start!

Wishing similar success to you!

@magert52

Have you discussed drug sequencing with your doc? It is quite important to the process to have a plan in place. Recently thinking seems to have changed on sequencing...depending on other health issues. Anabolic first then bisphosphonate. It is thought now that leading with bisphosphonates can lessen the positive effects of anabolics.

@gravity3 Also, thank you for bringing up those options.
