Strontium Citrate vs Risedronate

Posted by pat9892 @pat9892, 18 hours ago

Is strontium citrate an acceptable substitute for calcium supplements? Does it have undesirable risks/side effects. I am a female over 70 with Dx invasive ductal breast cancer, osteoporosis, taking Letrozole?
My Endocrinologist is recommending Risedronate, I am currently taking Calcium & Vitamin D supplements. Although I have a history of kidney stones I have not had any for 5 or so years.

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

Good question…just be sure to check who’s the supplements affect the kidneys…strontium could stress them.
