It is just a drip for 30 mins, then flushed through with another drip for 30 mins. Its because I couldn't tolerate the aledronic acid tablets so have this done once a year for 3 years |

In my case it has been recommended because my hip density is not responding well enough to the tablets. |

My hips are okish too, spine had improved to osteopenic but gone back to porotic now! Mum has the infusion because she was finding it tricky to follow all the instructions. I tolerate it fine so aren't chasing up a change. |

I’m not sure about anything. I was told I had severe osteopenia after breaking my arm. Given calcichew tablets. No follow up. Is that right or should it be checked? |

Looby Loo am not sure with Osteopenia but would thought they would check every so many years. Check with doctor maybe. When they found my osteoporosis i was told then that my next dexa scan wouldn't be for 3 years. I have calci-d chewable daily tablet too |

Just realised I am running out of tablets. I always order Osteo 4, which have calcium and D3, from www.justvitamins.co.uk. No personal interest to declare, other than that of a satisfied customer. |
