Which Of The Following Medicines Is A Better Choice To Treat Osteoporosis?

Is it better to take Bonita daily, or once a month? Also can Bonita be received as an injection? Fosamax, Bonita and a tonel have similar side effects. Which is the better drug? What about re last as an intervenous injection? I am a 69 year old female with osreopdnia on the verge of osteoporosis. I have a history of falls with no breaks. I have polio in left leg and wear a brace. My right leg has some neurological issues resulting in very little upper thigh strength.
