Are there any safe drugs for osteoporosis? Her physician says that there is an injectable drug without the side effects of brittle bones, but I am finding gastro-intestinal side effects for some of those. GI problems are my Mom's primary issue, so I don't want to make that worse. Any safe ones out there? ## My Mom did fabulously on Calcitonin Salmon but it did not work for me. I have more of my father's genes than my mother's

all medicine are drugs ,but all drugs are not medicine .keep away from drugs.it will destroy u.thanx ## #GUD-Botz-wanna KNOW wattiT Due toolbeam DeusSexMachinmaGottlike==With*.*IT$:| ## @pankaj, In regards to your inquiry about the use of Lafaxid D: Lafaxid D (Lafutidine), a newly developed anti-ulcer drug, elevates postprandial intragastric pH and increases plasma calcitonin gene-related peptide and somatostatin concentrations in humans. It is being compared to the prescription drug Famotidine, in that they have similar uses. At this time, I haven't been able to locate much more information on this drug, other than what you see above. If anyone else has additional details to add then that would be great!

What's the best way to administer Ostospray to ensure maximum absorption? ## Otospray contains the active ingredient Calcitonin and is most commonly used to help protect against bone mineral loss. As to how much is absorbed into the body, I haven't found any information on that. However, with most medications, it is only a small fraction of what is actually in any given dosage. Does anyone else have any information to add?
