Has anyone used the Ibandronate injection to hold in gains?

I have used a half dose of Tymlos and am now on Forteo. I have many digestive issues including GERD and need to decide on a follow up drug to hold in gains from these anabolics. I am afraid to take Reclast because of it's side effects. I am very sensitive to medications. I wonder about the Ibandronate injection, generic of Boniva. This has to be taken every 3 months, so I thought that it might be weaker than Reclast.

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

Thanks Mayblin. This is a very helpful article. I think I am a ways off
from trying this, unless my Forteo hasn't done anything more to help my
bones according to my next REMS test. I am also still trying to find a Dr
who will prescribe bioidentical estrogen.

Same here; trying to find a doctor who will prescribe bHRT. Hard to find in my area since they are not recognized as a legitimate delivery method by the majority of the medical community since many are not regulated by the FDA.
