<s>[INST] I’m taking a medicine that contributes to bone loss. Should I stop taking those medicines to protect my bones? [/INST] That is something to discuss with your doctor. Tell him/her of your concerns. But keep in mind that your doctor prescribed the medications for a reason. That reason probably outweighs the concerns about bone loss. Your doctor, however, may (or may not) be able to prescribe something different. Also look at the handouts on risk and focus on the strategies you can use to prevent bone loss, falls and fractures.
