Suggest Treatment For Osteoporosis
I have osteoporosis and I had a fall recently and have a couple of fractures in my back and I have been taking Magnesium but I have only been taking 100Mg daily but recently I started taking 200mg supplement of Magnesium citrate, but I noticed that my regular vitamins have 100mg in it I was wondering if I should continue taking the 200mg.

Dear patient
only magnesium is not enough to treat osteoporosis. Tab calcium 500 mg three times a day with tab vitamin d3 60000 units once a week for 6 weeks should be given. Bisphonates preparation like alendronate once a week should also be take. In severe osteoporosis injection teriperatide is very helpful. please consult expert orthopedic surgeon nearby you for detailed assessment and treatment.
