I took fosamax for 5 years. I stopped this past June. A five year limit. My Dexa only increased on left hip. . My spine has decreased a lot still in osteopenia but worse , close to osteoporosis. My right hip is the same as I started. -2.6
No improvement. Fracture hip is the concern. . I was told by a couple of doctors to possibly consider Prolia in the future . The future has arrived. I would prefer a bone building medication like Forteo , then use a protective drug to keep the gains . The protection drug is often reclast or fosamax . I question if that medication to protect the gains is safe since I already use for 5 years .
