Another doctor feels that - Denosumab

She is hypertensive and has problems of flatulence and stomach ailments

She is not keen for these type of drastic injectable treatments

Kindly advice please as to what she can have as treatment orally preferred otherwise suggest what you feel based on her bone density

Someone suggested osteum k2, arachitol and cholecalciferol
