@lioness. I never heard of that so I just looked it up:

What is meclizine?
Meclizine is an antihistamine that reduces the effects of natural chemical histamine in the body.
Meclizine is used to treat or prevent nausea, vomiting, and dizziness caused by motion sickness. It is also used to treat symptoms of vertigo (dizziness or spinning sensation) caused by disease that affects your inner ear.

It does say it is sometimes is used for off-label purposes but osteoporosis sounds like a stretch.

The primary side effect is drowsiness.
