Which is the better choice of drugs for Osteoporosis?? Is it Fosamax, Boniva, or Evista?? I am presently on Bo
I am presently on Boniva and was told it is the same classof drugs as Fosamax, and Fosamax has now been proven to give problems with bone (death) of the jaw. I was told Evista would be the only other drug of cchoice for my severe Osteoporis!! Evista is supposedly not a hormone or in the same class (Bisphosphonates) as Fosamax or Boniva.
Answers:
Your doctor is the best guide for this.
There was a recent study that Evista can also be a successful phophylaxis for breast cancer in some women.
I use to take Fosamax. It was causing chest pain so Dr. switched me to Boniva. Strange, but the Boniva seems to be causing me pain in my upper pallet? Do you have this problem. I can't answer your question, but I'm glad you posted it! I'll sure be watching for an answer!
you could talk to your doc about forteo .it is an injectable...may not be for you, but it never hurts to ask?? what about miacalcin
