The article linked below includes several doctors looking at the myriad current drug options for dealing with osteoporosis and also notes that the sequence of drugs should be considered. It's a good overview of what the current choices are for those contemplating which drug(s) to consider and ask their doctors about.

Great article which says what we have been discussing for some time: that anabolics work better if they are the first treatment. The article also mentions that insurance policies need to change, because many require failing at an anti-resorptive first, but those meds "blunt" the effects of anabolics.
PCP's need to be educated because two PCP's have expressed surprise that I am on Tymlos as my first medication. Both said "But that is not first line treatment."
