Question:
Has anyone used the Miacalcin nose spray, instead of Fosamax, and experienced any lessening of spinal stenosis pain? Pretty expensiive...$90 a month supply.
Answer:
Hey bluemax2, how are you doing?

Ask your Doctor or Pharmacist about ETIDRONATE (Didronel®). Generic etidronate tablets are available.

ALENDRONATE (Fosamax®) is from a family of drugs called bisphosphonates; used to prevent and treat osteoporosis. Other members of this family are etidronate (Didronel®), pamidronate (Aredia®), alendronate (Fosamax®), risedrinate (Actonel®), zoledronate (Zometa®), and ibandronate (Boniva®); also used to help prevent bone loss and to increase normal healthy bone production in patients with Paget's disease, in patients who have had hip surgery, or in those patients with osteoporosis.
