    My bone density increased while using this medication. I have had many stomach issues with other types of treatment. I've been using it for a couple of years. Published: November 14, 2007 ::

    So far so good. It is easy to use and no problems. Will know more after my next bone scan. Published: February 28, 2008 ::

    I have been taking Miacalcin for over two years. While Miacalcin is very easy to use, it is slow acting. My bone density test showed that I lost bone mass. Now, I take it along with Boniva. Hope the combo helps. Published: October 26, 2007 ::

    It seemed to be no problem to use it for a year or so, but now when I use it, I begin sneezing over and over and have had to quit using it. Also had unexplained back pain (on one side) which has disappeared since I quite using Miacalcin. However, my bone density did improve using it with Evista so I'm not happy not being able to use it. There is also a generic Fortical. Published: October 07, 2008 ::

    It was so easy to take without any side effects...but after a year my bone density test did not change! Published: December 03, 2008 ::

    My Mother had abdomanal radiation which caused her pelvis to have multiple fractures which caused excurtiating pain. The orthopedic Doctor put her on this for bone pain and within two days the bone pain was gone. He said he did not know why Miacalcin worked for the pain but it had worked for other patients and it worked for my Mom. It increased her a quality of life which was such a great blessing! I'm trying to tell everyone I know since it doesn't seem to be a very well known use for the drug. Published: April 09, 2009 ::

    Miacalcin improved the results on my spine and has kept my readings from my hip bone stable since I started using it about 3 years ago. Published: June 22, 2009 ::
