Alendronate (Binosto, Fosamax)

What Is Alendronate?

Alendronate is a type of medication classified as bisphosphonate. It works by altering the cycle of bone formation and breakdown in the body, slowing bone loss while increasing bone mass, which may prevent bone fractures.

What Is Alendronate Used to Treat?

Alendronate is used primarily to treat certain types of bone loss (osteoporosis) in adults. Osteoporosis causes bones to become thinner and break more easily. This medication is also used to treat a disease called Paget’s disease of the bone (a condition in which the normal process of bone remodeling is disrupted) and to prevent osteoporosis in postmenopausal women.

What Are the Common Side Effects of Alendronate?

Common side effects of Alendronate may include abdominal pain, nausea, heartburn, constipation, diarrhea, and bloating. In rare cases, it may cause serious problems in the stomach or esophagus. If you experience any severe side effects such as difficulty or pain swallowing, worsening heartburn, or chest pain, it is crucial to seek immediate medical attention.

Frequently Asked Questions About Alendronate

  • Lying down for at least 30 minutes after taking Alendronate.
  • Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as naproxen and ibuprofen can increase the risk of stomach and esophageal problems

Moreover, it is important to inform your doctor or pharmacist about any other medications you are taking before starting a course of Alendronate.

  • Glucocorticoid-Induced Osteoporosis: 5 mg once a day.
  • Treatment of Paget’s disease: 40 mg tablet once a day.

Additionally, if you experience any side effects while taking this medication, contact your healthcare professional right away.
