Does using the shot make me more likely to break a bone?

Using the shot is linked to temporary bone density loss, especially for people who use the shot for more than two years in a row. However, research has not shown that these changes increase your risk of breaking a bone. Once you stop using the shot, your bone density typically goes back to normal. To help you have healthy bones, whether you are using the shot or not, you can make sure you eat foods with calcium and vitamin D and do weight-bearing exercise, like walking or dancing.

Still not working?

If you have other risk factors for bone density loss or breaking a bone, you might want to use another method.
