Educat. I've got barrett's esophagus & have been on Pantoprazole for prob 10 yrs! Gastro dr said I cannot have oral meds for my osteoporosis. They would burn my esophagus. I am being urged to take Prolia but am scared silly to start it. Good luck.

Hi Marianne...Dianne here....I was prescribed Formax also....my GERD doctor said NO!!!! I have lots stomach problems & Fosomax goes against it all....
I my be hard headed, but at age 68....I'm not going with anymore new Meds,!!!!!!! Take Vit D with Calcium & Folic Acid...
Take care...Gentle Hugs....😁😁

I had several teeth fall out after taking Fosamax.

I also to pantoloc for GERD , I'm on BP meds, cholesterol, various meds for pain, etc..

I was prescribed fosamax too but haven't taken it. The literature says not to take it if you have unfinished dental work or padgett's disease. I do have unfinished dental work and my father had Padgetts. My primary provider said, "Michelle, just take it."I'm looking for a new primary care dr as we speak.

Good question Marianne!!!!!
I had labs done, nurse called said Folic Acid low...said take 2 tabs. daily...My pharmacist said it had B12 in it...I know B12 is for heart & metabolism....
Anyway, I take it when I remember too...LOL...😁
Ok...have great day....take care....Dianne
