Detailed Answer:
Dear Madam,

Thank you for posting your query on HCM.

Well looking into your problem I will like to tell you that , although I don't think denosumab is going to harm you in the ways , you are thinking but still if you have your concerns you can talk to your doctor regarding taking injection zoledronic acid once a year or alendronate . They are also good drugs for controlling osteoporosis . But still ultimate choice lies with your doctor .

Take care.

Dr. Shruti
