Osteoporosis Q & A

Osteoporosis Treatment Options in Pre-Menopausal Women

What are the treatment recommendations for a pre-menopausal woman of 49 found to have significant osteoporisis? Can you recommend a Hopkins physician?

Zolendronic Acid and Osteoporosis

Inquiring about Zoledronic Acid. Is it FDA approved and can I ask my doctor and insurance about beginning this once yearly? I am 60 years of age and diagnosed with osteoporosis for about 5 years now. Currently taking Actonel once weekly.

Evoxac and Dry Eyes

Can Evoxac help cure dry eyes? I have severe dry eyes and blephorospasms. I read that Evoxac can help cure dry eyes. Is this true?

Dry Eye, Can Actonel be the cause?

Can Actonel be causing my severe eye blephorospasms, blepharitis and dry eye? My lacrimal glands are swollen and I can’t keep tears in my eyes. I’m on minocycline, restasis, optiva and genteal gel. Recently I had botox injections around my eye to relieve the blephorospasms. I also have had Sarcoidosis for 12 years. I take Flovent inhaler spray once per day for my lungs.

What are the pro’s and cons of Actonel versus Boniva?

What are the pro’s and cons of Actonel versus Boniva. Can I get as good of results with Boniva?

Boniva vs. Fosamax, comparable doses?

If once a month  Boniva is 150 mg  how can it be comparable to Fosamax, which is approximately 70mg a week,I believe.70 mg times 4 or 5 weeks = 280/350 mg?
