Hi there @bruceandruth1970 .....nice to see your names again. The medication is Alendronate. It is a biphosphonate just like the Boniva which was my first Rx and gave me such a horrible beginning to this journey. However, with the dosage calendar changes, there are no side effects. Good luck to you. Isn't knowledge powerful? Who would have thought about or even questioned dosages and frequencies?

Good luck to you. Let me know how things work out for you. BTW....my Dexa scores were like -1.6 or -1.7 in the hip areas. I didn't know those were possibly osteopenia, not osteoporosis.

My best....Chris
