Is it common to have problems tolerating new osteoporosis meds? -
12-28-2008, 04:17 AM
Several months ago the doctor said my low bone density should be treated. He tried me on Fosamax first and I got so sick. I didn't know for a while that it was the medication doing it, but it totally tore up my intestinal tract and I dropped down to 93 lbs. After several months of recovery, and taking Prilosec with meals; he has started me on Actonel. This week was my second dose and I am starting to have terrible abdominal pain and diarrhea. It all feels too familiar.

Yes, what you describe is definitely one of the unpleasant symptoms of many of these meds against osteoporosis. I do not take them just for this reason. The stomach pains are so bad I can't tolerate it. I therefore just try to eat lots of foods that contain Calcium and also add Calcium+D pills. I have had no bone loss in the past 5 years, I do walk everyday for an hour it has been said it helps to keep the bones strong.
