I am 43 and have osteopenia -1.3. My doctor gave me actonel which made me dreadfully ill. He probably should not have prescribed it for a 43 year old not going through menopause. Since then I have been taking GNC's Women's Ultra Mega Bone Density along with GNC Liquid Multi Colloidal Minerals. My gyno now suggested Fosteum. How would all three of these mix? Should I expect any of the same side affects I had from Actonel? Thank you

Hi Want2stayhealthy, welcome and thanks for your question. According to the information on Fosteum, you should take Calcium with it. I would ask your pharmacist about the other supplements just in case there is something in one of those products that shouldn't be taken with Fosteum.
Here's a list of the side effects for Fosteum. I've never taken Fosteum but I wouldn't think that you'd have the same side effects like those from Actonel since it's a totally different medication. Fosteum is approved for those who are pre-menopausal so hopefully this will help you to increase you bmd.
Good luck with this and I hope you do well!
