There are alternative medications that she could try, such as Prolia, Zometa, and Boniva to name a few, as well as several more. She should ask her doctor about trying a different one.

The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, and joint/muscle aches.

How is she doing, now?
