@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.

@contentandwell I have talked with people who where on Meclizine for osteoporosis so looked it up and found it is because of a ovariectomy Induced bone loss . Otherwise it is for dizziness My Dr gave me that before I had gone to the ENT and found out what was causing it . So your right it isnt for normal bone loss ,but due to this .
