Osteoporosis

My doctor tells me I have Osteoporosis, and she gave me medicine.  I have no symptoms, and I am not sure if I want to take it, should I?

Yes, if your doctor gave you this medicine, you should definitely take it.  This means that your doctor thinks you are at risk for complications of osteoporosis, such as bone fractures. There are new medicines that recently came on the market that need to be taken only once or twice a year, so ask your doctor about them.
