I have started taking estrogen blocking tab and is advised to have 6 month once injection for preventing osteoporosis. I have the option of intra venous which is cheaper and subcutaneous one with lesser side effects but costly. Any suggestion which one i should opt for. Thank you

I am on letroz now started 10 days back. I was asked to come 15 days for the osteoporosis prevention injection and once in 6 months thereafter. I have the option of cheaper one which is intravenous and costlier subcutaneous one . I was wondering which one to opt for.
