A patient recently emailed me, confused after meeting with her rheumatologist. She has osteoporosis and was given a handful of treatment options to consider. The information was limited and confusing, so she asked me to sort it out. Osteoporosis impacts so many postmenopausal women that I thought it worthwhile to share.

Note: Regular strength training, along with adequate calcium (1200 mg daily, ideally from dietary sources) and vitamin D (1000 units daily), is the foundation of any osteoporosis treatment.

🦴 Understanding Your Osteoporosis Treatment Options

💊 BISPHOSPHONATES — Usually the First Step. Slow bone breakdown and are the most commonly prescribed option.

Alendronate (Fosamax) — weekly pill
Risedronate (Actonel) — weekly or monthly pill
Zoledronic acid (Reclast) — once-yearly IV infusion
💰 Generic alendronate is often just $5–$15/month. IV options can run $200–$800+ without insurance. ⚠️ Take on an empty stomach and stay upright 30 minutes after. Rare risks include jaw problems and unusual thigh fractures with very long-term use. Typically used for 5 years, then reassessed.

💉 DENOSUMAB (Prolia): A Shot Every 6 Months 💰 ~$2,000–$2,800/year without insurance; often covered by Medicare Part B. ⚠️ Very effective, but never stop abruptly as sudden bone loss can occur. Always transition to another medication with your doctor's guidance.

💊 RALOXIFENE (Evista): Best for Spine Protection 💰 Generic available — typically $30–$60/month. ⚠️ Not for everyone, as this can increase blood clot risk and can worsen hot flashes.

💉 BONE-BUILDING MEDICATIONS: For Higher-Risk Patients. These actually build new bone rather than just slowing loss. All require follow-up with an antiresorptive medication afterward to maintain the gains.

💉 BONE-BUILDING MEDICATIONS: For Higher-Risk Patients. These actually build new bone rather than just slowing loss. Options include Teriparatide (Forteo), Abaloparatide (Tymlos), and Romosozumab (Evenity). These are given as daily or monthly injections for 1–2 years, costing ~$1,800–$5,000/month without insurance, though generics and assistance programs can help. Note that Evenity is not recommended after a recent heart attack or stroke. All require follow-up with an antiresorptive medication afterward to maintain the gains.

💡 BOTTOM LINE:

✅ Generic bisphosphonates are highly effective AND affordable. Start there. Most options are covered by insurance; always check your formulary
✅ Manufacturer assistance programs are available for pricier injectables. Ask your doctor or pharmacist.
✅ Never stop any osteoporosis medication without talking to your doctor first.
✅ Calcium, vitamin D, exercise, and fall prevention all work alongside medication

📞 Always consult your healthcare provider. The right choice depends on your personal risk level, health history, and budget.

“I guess I’m just one of the people it doesn’t work for.”

A patient said this to me after being on a GLP-1 for 3 months, with almost no weight loss.

Except…
She was on a starter dose.
Had stopped twice due to nausea.
And had zero support around nutrition or muscle.

That’s not a non-responder.
That’s an incomplete plan.

A new study just looked at the genetics behind GLP-1 response. And yes, certain gene variants can influence weight loss and side effects.

But here’s the part that matters:

The genetic effect is SMALL.

Most “non-response” comes down to:
• not reaching a therapeutic dose
• stopping too early
• or not treating the full metabolic picture: nutrition and exercise are critical pieces

We are way too quick to label patients as failures.

GLP-1s don’t fail patients.

We fail patients when we oversimplify their care.

I read this article, felt my brain melt, then a bit later realized that I had taken my nighttime medications instead of my morning ones.

If I’m a little off today it’s because we are 4 games into baseball season, Taiwan Walker still pitches for the Phillies, their bats were stunned silent by his performance, and Rob Thompson is either eternally optimistic or delusional.

But still, in my heart of hearts, I love this team and this spot. Today is a new day. Let’s go Andrew Painter!🙏⚾️

A few months ago, Haddie asked me if I would run Broad Street with her. I have done this race 11 times. It really was very much checked off of my list. BUT, as any parent out there knows, if your adult kid asks you to do something with them, you pretty much say yes.

This will not be an easy race for me but I am doing it...not just because Haddie asked but because cancer still takes too many lives. Every dollar will help! Thank you all in advance for your support!

I’m supporting the American Cancer Society to honor those touched by cancer by raising funds for groundbreaking research. Support me.
