Jumping to drugs without looking for the cause to be treated is poor practice in my opinion. My primary care NP explored the possible causes and my medical history and ordered several blood tests, testeron, CTX and P1NP. My osteoclast activity was low so an antiresorptive would be a poor choice and my osteoblast activity was good so I am not losing bone currently. I have seen Specialists in the past who ordered Fosamax with no idea what condition they were treating and the results were poor.

I completely agree with you. I want to clarify that this talk is only giving a basic overview of treatment options for osteoporosis- and is not the clinical practice guideline when it comes to clinical decision making for osteoporosis, which should be individualized and include workup.
