How Does this Drug Work?

What are the Side Effects of this Medication

In the past doctors prescribed estrogen therapy to women suffering from osteoporosis, because menopause caused a decrease in the amount of circulating calcium in the blood, which in turn caused the body to take calcium from the bones. Unfortunately recent studies link estrogen drug therapy to an increased risk of heart disease, breast cancer and stroke. As a result, this treatment option has fallen from favor, leaving only calcium and Vitamin D supplementation as the treatment of choice. Some studies show that this causes a decrease in fractures but other studies show that it helps very little.

The biggest advance in the treatment of osteoporosis was the discovery of the biophosphonates medicine. This drug class has been shown to slow the rate of thinning and according to Merk’s website, it actually increases the amount of bone in most patients.

Unfortunately, for the millions of Americans without health insurance or prescription coverage with high deductibles and co-pays, the biophosphonates were a very expensive medication treatment, because all were highly-marketed, patent-protected brand name drugs.

The expiration of Merck’s patent means that generic drug manufacturer’s are now producing generic Fosamax and saving the American public millions of dollars in the process. US Generics Cheap Pharmacy is at  the forefront in offering the U.S. osteoporosis patient a quality alternative low cost  generic medications.
