Alternatives to Fosamax

[astrid]

I just started taking Fosamax with no side effects. I am 49 years old. Fosamax is different from calcium. Osteoporosis actually causes your bones to thin and the density to weaken, creating holes in your bones, so fractures are more likely. Bones are continually being rebuilt, Fosamax helps build new bone mass. During Osteoporosis bone is removed or reabsorbed faster than it grows.
