Sure makes my wife happy on this drug
to know this when treating her bone loss issues.
Enough already, from" modern medicine".
How the heck did my ancestors live so long
at the turn of the last century without all this junk?.
We also have read about jawbones cracking like glass
from Fasomex,Yikes!

Does this surprise us??? do we remember Vioxx? How many lies there?
Repeat after me: The drug companies exist to make money..not save lives.
It is about the bottom line people, and you are just a number to them..a BIG number since millions of prescriptions for this crap (poision) are written every month.
Wake up!!! Give up your soda and your coffee, take your vitamin D, calcium and magnesium and get off your duffs. A pill is NOT the answer here folks.
How did we become the pill society? I think the "bad" thing about the discovery of penicillin has been we "expect" a pill to cure everything.
Sorry, it just aint so.
Remember the 90's catch phrase..Just say NO!. Well we need to do that with our MD's. Sorry Dr. NO. I'll swallow those pills when you and your family do!!
none of your business

NYOB:

ANd you want to try another one, why?

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice shame on ME!
LIVE and learn. You aren't doing the learning part.
NO pill is magically going to regrow bone. PERIOD.
ALL of these "wonder pills" are unsafe.
HOW DID our ancestors survive? Oh yeah, they got out and worked in the sun (vitamin D) and exercised (weight bearing) which kept their bones strong. No magic pill needed.
