Hi, this is a common concern that people with osteoporosis ask. There are many issues that need to be addressed. This includes taking the medication properly, the right supplements, work up for additional causes of disease and careful evaluation of the bone density. Alderonade must be taken first thing in the morning on an empty stomach, without any other medications or food. Calcium and vitamin D supplements should be of good quality brand. A full workup should be performed on anyone who does not respond well to medications. This includes a full discussion of the patient's history, physical as well as laboratory workup. Finally bone scans should be read by experienced physicians by looking at the pictures of the scan and not by just reading the report. I hope this helps.
