Denosumab, for bone loss prevention
In the recent San Antonio Conference, a very favorable report was presented for the AI associated bone density loss. Denosumab is a twice a year injection treatment. Do any of you know whether this is available or it is still under FDA review? I am taking Fosamax and having stomach pain side effects. What are the alternate treatments? The nose sprays are hormone based treatment and they may counter the purpose of AI.
