Re: fosamax
What do you consider long term?
I am curious about these drugs being prescribed for osteoporosis.
Assuming a patient is able to take any one of these drugs without any
problem, is there a time limit, 3yrs, 5 years, 10 yrs, or can these
drugs be taken indefinitely? Perhaps that too is an unknown factor.
I am also curious about enriching the diet with all minerals and
vitaminds needed for good bones, along with getting the proper
exercise and not take any medications. Maybe we who have been diagnosed
with osteoporois would do just as well. Any studies on this?
Just a thought. Anne
