Is this the best medication for Osteoporosis. I take one table per week
I started taking Risidronate Rosalie 16 years ago, recommended by the DEXA scan dept. I think they're similar. I came off them 6 years ago when I was at a meeting and a Rheumatology Matron said "you shouldn't take these tablets more than 5 years as they don't give you any more benefit, and go back on them in five years. So I came off them and came back on them a year ago. They certainly worked for me and I had no side effects. And I have had no breaks, fractures or compressions as far as I know. Take care, keep taking the meds if they agree with you, exercise, take care and keep safe. I also was given Calceos (Calcium and Vitamen D) which I still take and have blood tests every year to check the calcium levels. Xx
I was on Fosmax for 5 yrs no side effects my bone Density improved from Osteoporosis to Osteopenia, you must read instructions and follow specifically or you will get side effects
Glad to hear your positive effects. Keeping my fingers crossed
My doctor took me off of it because it wasn't doing any good.
