Incapacité de prendre les médicaments oralement

Welcome. Can you share your dexa scores with us? Is Prolia the only non oral osteoporosis medication that your doctor has discussed with you? There are others that are not taken orally.. such as forteo, tymlos. Evenity. However, I am not a doctor and have no idea whether any of those are appropriate for your care. Are you seeing an endocrinologist or a physician who is well trained in treatment of osteoporosis?

Mes résultats : la DMO lombaire : score T de -2,2; la DMO du col fémoral gauche: score T de -2,5; la DMO pour la hanche totale gauche : score de T -2,4. On ne m'a parlé que du Prolia qui est donné sous injection, ce qui est OK. Le problème est celui du calcium quotidien de 500 mg que je dois prendre. À cause de la gastroparésie, je ne peux pas prendre le calcium oralement. Quant à l'endocrinologue, je vais suggérer à mon médecin une recommandation pour en consulter un.

Don’t take the calcium supplement if you cannot tolerate it. I have had osteoporosis for 8 years and no longer take calcium. My serum calcium levels are normal and I get my calcium from my diet. I strive for at least 800 mg per day and my doctor has said this is fine.

@oopsiedaisy Bonjour. Merci de votre réponse. Est-il impoli de vous demander votre âge? J'ai 72 ans et l'objectif qui m'a été fixé est de 1 200 mg de calcium par jour. Quel est le vôtre? Et mon taux de calcium sanguin est aussi normal, mais le calcium des os ne semble pas suffisant. Avez-vous fait le test d'ostéodensitométrie dernièrement? Merci à l'avance de vos autres réponses à mes questions.

You are barely into osteoporosis range, about where I am. I am trying transdermal Hormone Replacement Therapy HRT and LIFTMOR type heavy-for-you exercise. There are several discussions about these topics on this site.

There are other injectable drugs also, such as anabolic bone-building drug teriparatide, brand name Forteo. That is the one that I would do next if I needed to go on medication.

Some people have had serious side effects for each of the osteoporosis drugs, but many people have had good results. The people who have a good outcome with no side effects, such as one of my friends, often do not join an online forum such as this.

@kfhoz Un gros merci de votre réponse. Je me demandais si votre traitement hormonal transdermique était à base d'estrogènes, Quant au tériparatide, j'ai lu sur le sujet et je crois qu'il doit être accompagné de suppléments quotidiens. Est-ce que je me trompe? Car les suppléments quotidiens ne me vont pas du tout. Je suis d'accord avec vous, certaines personnes ont la chance d'obtenir de bons résultats.

@jojogigibobi HRT is estradiol via a sticky patch on the skin. If you have a uterus then you also take Progesterone which most do orally But I think that you can get Progesterone via transdermal as well.

@jojogigibobi I am 65. I used to take calcium supplements to achieve an intake of 1200 mg per day. I was diagnosed with hypercalciuria last year so my doctor told me to stop taking supplements and to focus on getting 800 mg through diet.

I had a DEXA scan last month after taking Evenity for a year. I had a vertebral compression fracture just over 2 years ago after being on alendronate for 5 years.

My bone density improved and my spine is in the osteopenia range. My hips are just into osteoporosis range but they have been at the same level for years now. Treatment and lifestyle changes (lifting heavy weights) have not made a difference in my hips. Perhaps they have helped keep them stable.

I’ve been on HRT for years. That also hasn’t made a difference. I think the hypercalciuria has been a factor in why I have osteoporosis.
