Ibandronic Acid
With aggravated osteoporosis my partner has been offered the choice of monthly doses of
Bonviva
or a six monthly injection. Which would be most effective to mitigate the osteoporosis while remaining compatible with an AF/pacemaker regime that includes Amias, Sotalol, Furosemide, and Apixaban?.

After Evenity
I finished 11 months of Evenity and went onto very low dose Actonel (5 mg x 2 a week) which caused non stop bad migraine and achiness and aching teeth, I came off and was given Raloxifene. Will this be strong enough to keep the gains? Are the other biphsphonates the same as Actonel in side effects,

Anyone done Fosamax and then tried Boniva?
My B/C B/S insurance is making me try those in that order. So happy - just took my last 5 mg fosamax left in my bottle, it gives me a stomachs ache every time. Boniva only comes in a 30 day in one pill supply. I am scared of taking that kind of dose. I can try actonel but I would have to pay for

Help and Opinions on Prolia for Osteoporosis
After breaking 3 ribs for no reason and my bone density much worse, the rheumatologist, endocrinologist and GP felt Prolia may be the next step. There is no way to know what caused the ribs to break. I have taken Actonel, Boniva, Forteo and Fosamax already. I really did not want to consider this because
