How Does It Work

Alendronate/Fosamax indirectly increases bone mineral density by inhibiting bone resorption by osteoclasts. In Paget disease it indirectly results in decreased bone formation, but the newly formed bone has a more normal structure.

Indications For Use

Alendronate/Fosamax is officially indicated for prevention of fracture in osteoporosis, or as an alternate agent in Paget disease. It is commonly prescribed off-label for prevention/treatment of glucocorticoid induced osteoporosis, or androgen deprivation therapy associated osteoporosis.

Precautions

Before starting Alendronate/Fosamax make sure your physician is aware of any allergies or medications you currently take, if you have had bariatric surgery, have a history of cancer, kidney disease, if you are pregnant, breastfeeding

Usual Dosing

5-10mg once daily; 35-70mg once weekly; Paget disease – 40mg once daily

Pharmacist Tips On Using

How to Take: Follow instructions provided by physician/pharmacy label, swallow whole with a whole glass of water at least 30 minutes before first food/beverage of day, keep dosing schedule consistent, store at room temperature. Supplement with calcium and vitamin D if dietary intake insufficient.

You Need to Avoid: Do not lay down for 30 minutes after dosing to prevent esophageal damage, do not consume any medications, food or beverages until 30 minutes after dosing with a full glass of plain water (not mineral water). Food or beverages can significantly impair absorption of this medication.
