[QUOTE="fedup, post: 75244, member: 17"] I've been taking Fosamax for a couple of years. I have osteopenia, too. I don't know of any side effects. With the calcium, you might want to ask your Dr. about a vitamin D supplement- it helps by increasing the absorption of the calcium, I believe. There are several Calcium supplements out there. I would try the Fosamax= my Dr. started me on a small dose, taken daily. When I had no side effects, he upped it to the once a week Fosamax/vit D. I also take a supplement of vitamin D due to other issues. I think it is 50,000 units every two weeks for 3 months, the once a month. I know the clacium supplments come in a once a month pill, and I believe there is a once a year pill that just come out. [/QUOTE]
