what medications are best for osteoporosis?

Question:i have just been diagnosed with osteoporosis - numbers are terrible - -3 , what medications are best?


Answer:There isn't a lot of point in trying to figure out why you have this disease - you either have it or you don't. I was told by the specialist that it is over 90% genetic. So what you have to do is get some sort of drugs and an exercise regimen if this is also appropriate.

I was recommended Fosomax. I have been on it now for about 12 months and will have another bone scan after 2 years on this drug.

My mother had her first fracture at 87 and the second at 93. She is still going strong at 97.
