Guest guest Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 yeah, sure, if the fosamax drives too much of the calcium into your bones it can cause a life=threatening situation so be sure to discuss this with ALL your doctors, including Dr.K, promise me that, Pat.

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 Yep, you can die quickly with too low a blood calcium level. If you take a drug that drives your calcium into your bones and do not have the means to replace it in your blood, then you can die.
