Osteoporosis is a disease of bone in which bone mineral density (BMD) is reduced and bone microarchitecture is disrupted. Osteoporotic bones are susceptible to fracture. Osteoporosis is defined as either a bone mineral density 2.5 standard deviations below peak bone mass (20-year-old person standard) as measured by DEXA or any fragility fracture. While treatment modalities are becoming available, prevention is still the most important way to reduce fracture. Due to its hormonal component, more women suffer from osteoporosis than men.

Call a lawyer, tampering with perscriptions is a crime, so I would be worried about that.  However you can find information about this in any specialized "medical law book"  You need to look at medical law so you see where this is covered.

Vitamin D allows Calcium to be absorbed in your system.  Without it, the calcium just passes through.  I would suggest getting some calcium supplements (usually less than $20 for a month supply) which usually contain Vitamin D also.  Exposure to the sun also gives you Vitamin D so be sure to get plenty of sunshine!

1200 mg a day, but if you take it in supplement form, it is recommended you take magnesium with it.  magnesium helps your body absorb and utilize calcium.

One bone density test is an xray of the hips and back. It is good to have one taken just before menopause for comparison later. If the bone density is slightly low, they call it osteopenia. There is also an ultrasound that can be done to the ankle. A result less than -1 is psteopenia and should be treated to avoid broken bones later. Ther are several products on the market now with perscription that  put calcium back into the bones.

You can only use for max 2 years as it does cause bone loss.  I advise taking calcium suppliments at least 1500 mg daily to help counteract that.  If you're young, under 25, and active, you should be fine using this product for 2 years and able to restore the bone mass.  It will also either cause spotty bleeding or eliminate periods all together.  Weight gain is also an issue as you'll want to eat everything! lol Sad thing is, when you take birth control... it makes you not want to do the very act that you're taking it for.  heh  figures right?\n\nSide note:  I did not experience the headaches or cramps, actually they went away for me

It depends which country you are in. Some countries sell quite strong tablets over the counter without a perscription. Just ask at a pharmacy what they can reccommend.

First, tell her to stop taking her calcium. It is a common misconception that taking calcium supplements will help with bone loss in women. The opposite is actually true. Cultures that don't drink milk, take calcium supplements and only ingest 100 mg of calcium from vegetables a day - like China - have no word for "osteoporosis."  Calcium is used by every muscle cell in the body to contract, and magnesium to relax. Add a magnesium, if you like, and it would be a great idea for her to eliminate dairy and wheat for a week or two to see if she improves. You might be suprised that it works quite well.

I do DEXAs (bone density tests of the hip and spine) as part of my job.  Women on Fosamax who have follow up studies certainly do not lose bone mass, and some improve their scores, in my experience.  There have been clinical studies that say the same.\nThe FDA based its approval on two-year studies which demonstrated Fosamax increased BMD at the hip and spine and prevented fractures at the spine.  http://www.pslgroup.com/dg/10c15a.htm\nPostmenopausal women with osteoporosis had significantly greater increases in bone mineral density (BMD) of the lumbar spine and total hip after one year of treatment with FOSAMAX(R) (alendronate sodium) 70 mg once-weekly compared to women treated with Evista (raloxifene) 60 mg once-daily, according to preliminary results from the Efficacy of FOSAMAX vs. Evista Comparison Trial (EFFECT).\nhttp://www.globeinvestor.com/servlet/WireFeedRedirect?cf=GlobeInvestor/config&vg=BigAdVariableGenerator&date=20030428&archive=bwire&slug=231185892\nHighly significant increases in BMD were seen at each measurement site in women who received Fosomax.  http://www.fda.gov/cder/foi/label/1999/20560s12lbl.pdf#search='fosamax%20clinical%20studies'

YOU SHOULD NOT BE GETTING PRESCRIBED MEDS WITHOUT A PERSCRIPTION (in TJ or Canada or major urban centers).  IT IS DANGEROUS AND SOME OF THE DRUGS ARE FAKE WHILE OTHERS ARE OF QUESTIONABLE QUALITY AND POTENCY.  YOU COULD GET HURT.
