Was in Didrinol for 10 years recently tried Bonviva because Didrinol are a very old one of the earlier prescribed drugs tried Bonviva a couple of times but had terrible stomach problems burning in stomach and throat have discontinued, just taking calcium at present. I am reasearching Osteodenx to find out availability in the UK it seems to be a great solution if it works but it only seems to be available to buy from Nikkon.
