medication for bone density

Dear DR. and Experts:

A question on medication for low bone density. A 15 years old girl had a bone density test due to continuing predineson medication. The results were -1.7 for deviation of spine and -1.0 for deviation of whole body. These results are similar as (a little bit worse than) what were last year even she is on medication of calcium and fosamax. Her Dr suggested for the same medication for the next one year.
My question: does she need both the calcium and fosamax?
Any comment from expert is really appreciated!
Thanks
