Good evening all
I hope this message finds you all in good sprit?

I have a question:

I have recently been told i have the start of osteoporosis. This was found after breaking my leg at the gym.
To improve this, i've been advised to take vitamin D everyday.

I have also been given,
Zoledronic Acid in form of a dip.
Here is my question
Has anyone had this?
If so, have you had any side effects?
If yes, what are they?

Thank you in advance for reading this message and hopefully answering any of the above question

Dollygloss - denosumab is a completely different medication to Alendronic acid so shouldn't have same side effects. Though of course it may have other ones! I'm waiting to have another Dexa scan to see how my bones are doing- family history of osteoporosis so I'll do whatever needed to prevent it.

Thanks Farmor. It's reassuring though this time I looked at the list of possible side effects and my teeth are still chattering!
