What Does My Bone Density Test Report Indicate?
I recently had a bone density test that indicated I had hip bone loss approaching osteoporosis. My Dr. Recommend Reclast. After reading reviews, that does not appear to be a drug I wish to take. What are some milder drugs that could help; or would supplements be optional at this time?

Hello,
I have studied your case and following are the drugs which can be taken for osteoporosis.
1.Tablet Calcium 1000 mg daily with D 3 60000 unit per week basis.
2.Teriparatide injection SC daily for three months.
3.Nasal spray of calcitonin can be used.
These tablets and injection are better then Relecast. Along with this you need to do physical activities and exercises. I hope this answer will be useful for you.Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
thanks
