Comment:
I have been using Fortical for almost four years. Two years ago when I had a bone scan, the results were no improvement nor a worsend condition. I just had a bone scan this week and my bones have gotten worse. My doctor wants me to take another drug. Other than that, I liked the ease of this drug and didn't have any side effects.

I used Fortical for almost 1 year. started getting nasal sores soon after starting. Had to keep stopping so they could heal. They stopped healing so I discontinued. Now, almost 1 year later I still get the sores.
