Alternatives to standard Osteoporosis drugs

Posted by annie1 @annie1, May 19, 2025

Has anyone tried Calciven and did it increase your bone density as effectively as Evenity or Forteo ? My Dr. doesn't recognize any drugs besides the standard treatments. End of discussion. The other major problem is that Medicare may no cover it.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Osteoporosis & Bone Health Support Group.

@naturegirl5 medication did you get on?
I’m 61 and was just diagnosed with osteoporosis in my lumbar spine so kind of freaking out a bit and trying to sift through all of the information on over the counter supplements versus the Prolia shot.
Would really appreciate anyone in my same situation, letting me know what worked for them! Thanks in advance.

Would Prolia be your first osteoporosis medication and if so, what is your providers rationale for starting with it?

@frannie1, If you enter Prolia in the search bar at the very top of the page, you'll find a lot of discussion on this topic.
