I have cirroris and was prescribed Fosamax by my Doc's. I have also had a liver transplant. They now are prescribing a once a year Reclast infusion for my osteporois. Thats seems to be a lot less taxing on the liver. Big bonus for me was I didnt have to remember to take those pills everyday!!!!
Good luck!
Oh wow. That's great. I'm going to see a new hematologist in two weeks and I'll discuss this with him. I'm not so sure I should be on Fosamax yet as I only have osteopenia and I'm taking calcium and vitamin D.
Thanks so much for your help.
Hi, there are newer drugs as stated above, I have a relative who takes a shot once a month, like the Sally Field commercial.
I think you have to weigh the risks against benefits.
The one risk that scare me was jaw bone problems.
But...that was with prolonged use.
Good luck.
Thank you so much. I will look into that.
