Can anyone help me regarding post menopausal osteoporosis??
My mother has been through her menopause phase one year ago. Last week, she has been to the doctor for her check-up, it was seen that she has bone deficiency. Normally it is said if you have already been through the menopausal, you have greater risk to get post menopausal osteoporosis. A friend of hers has told her to take boniva  to treat that bone deficiency but she is a bit reluctant to take medication without prescription. What are your views on that medication?? Can she take it without prescription?? Does this medication need prescription??
