If you do choose medication, the current thinking is to start with a bone builder/anabolic.
Sequencing matters with these drugs.
What are your current dexa scores? How old are you

Are bone builders/anabolics only prescribed for people with more severe bone loss? Or does insurance only cover them for a certain degree of bone loss? I am not at the point of needing medication yet, but trying to educate myself on all this now. My sisters were prescribed Fosomax, which I know is not an anabolic. I have heard that before: You want to go on a bone builder first. However, I’m guessing not everyone gets to participate in that recommendation based on their degree of bone loss and insurance coverage. Can you shed some light on this?
