Hi @yani2023, I added your question to the Transplants support group too. Transplant recipients
@cmael and @ssapp1 may have thoughts for you.

Additionally, you might be interested in this related discussion in the Transplants support group:
– Bone Health After Transplant https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/bone-health-after-transplant/

It can be scary reading the side effects that others write in a forum like this one. Keep in mind that it is a somewhat biased view since people who do not have side effects don't need to reach out for support in managing side effects. There are several drugs that help osteoporosis. They work differently and its important to talk with your doctor about the pros and cons of each and which would be best for you and why.

Here's some info from Mayo Clinic that you might find helpful:

Mayo Clinic's Bone Health Choice Decision Aid https://osteoporosisdecisionaid.mayoclinic.org/
This tool will help you and your doctor discuss how you might want to reduce your risk for bone fractures. Note: The decision aid should be used together with your physician during a consult.
