Calcium/Vit D with Fosamax??
Hi everyone,
I just had a bad result from my last Dexa which is showing severe osteopenia, so need to begin taking Fosamax.
My onc is away right now so I had to see a different Dr who said theres no need to continue with my calcium/vit d once I begin taking it?
I feel a little uneasy about this and wondered what other's are doing or have done and what amount you take in conjunction with Fosamax.
I intend calling my Onc about this when she's back, but just needed some opinions sooner as I begin taking it this week.
Thanks for any advice!
