Good evening @windyshores .......Would you help me understand why your doctor won't allow Alendronate after Tymlos? That is what I ended up doing. And so far......no issues.

Thanks.
Chris

It is just that I have serious GERD. McCormick and my doc feel that alendronate is less potent to lock in gains but it is certainly adequate. To bypass GI I am doing a 20% dose of Reclast (kidney disease) with hydration. McCormick today suggested that I continue at 1 mg but doc wants me to tell him if I can handle 2mg after the test dose of 1 mg. You are fine with alendronate! Wish I could take it!
