I started Alendeonic acid & Adcal tablets at the beginning of Jan after just being diagnosed with osteoporosis. I also had horrendous constipation, despite eating lots of fruit, veg, prunes, drinking water. Came off it after 4 weeks, took a week before back to normal. Still taking the AA tablets. Got an appointment with Dr to ask if I can have just Vit D, no calcium. Think I get enough from healthy diet.

I was diagnosed and given these drugs but never took them I went straight I homeopathic meds but I don’t know if they’re working or not ... so I’m having another scan done to see what’s happening.
Can’t tell the doctor or she won’t do the scan ... if it’s not working I will go on these meds

Vitamin D3 needs to be in addition to Vit.K2

I just started taking it and am doing fine so far. Alendronate has been around for a long time, it seemed to me to be a good thing to start with.
