This article is about obesity drugs not necessarily being tested on obese people who process drugs at a different rate than normal weight people do. Could there be a similar problem with the one-size-fits-all osteoporosis drugs and slender people ( e.g, those of us who weigh in the neighborhood of 100 lb.)?

I have the same question about weight. I weigh I08 lbs. and that’s one of my concerns re treatment for osteoporosis. Perhaps more side effects occur with smaller size and bones etc. Who knows? More research is necessary!!!!
