hi may i know about age/sex.as far osteoporosis is concerned i usually give bisphosphonate(alendronate-weekly therapy,ibandronic acid 150mg-once a month therapy,zoledronic acid -once a year) along with diet rich in calcium and vitaminD. as for calcium you can have calcium citrate maleate in place of cal, carbonate. above measure gives best result when you add physical excercises. so take care and relax. feel free to contact anytime ,i would be pleased to help you.
