Osteoporosis? Has your Dr. prescribed a prescription drug and r u taking it?

Question: If you are or are not, please tell me why. I was prescribed Actonel, but decided against it because of jaw necrosis and I have peridontal disease. I have decided not to take any prescribed drugs and will try to take better care of my bones thru nutrition, exercise and supplements. I'd appreciate any feedback.

My mother takes FOSAMAX. She has been told that she is going to have to take a medication where she will inject herself daily for two years to help repair/rebuild bones--I think it is called FOSEO or FOSIO. Something like that. After the two years of daily injections she will no longer have to take anything--not even FOSAMAX. She hasn't started it yet. Has to take class to learn to properly inject herself first. Good Luck!!

I would not take a prescription drug for osteoporosis. However, I do not have osteoporosis. First, for nutrition, stop drinking colas. Colas are so high in phosphorus that your body dumps calcium just to get rid of the excess phosphorus. Cut way back on red meat. Same reason. Red meat is high in phosphorus.
