Questions and AnswersQuestion No.: 16890 Submitted By: Rose Moore Submitted on: October 1, 2004 Subject: Fosamex Question: Does taking Fosamex take care of the need for elemental calcium? I read that regular calcum does not meet that need. Dr. Cinque's Answer: Fosamex is a drug that cripples certain cells in bones that break down the bone, and that's how it makes the bones stronger. But it's a totally separate thing from calcium. I'm not big on Fosamex because it's a very caustic, irritating drug. I think it's a better plan to eat a very nutritious diet and exercise and rely on safe dietary supplements like calcium, Vitamin D and Vitamin K. |
