Description:
Chemical Name: ALENDRONATE (a-LEN-droe-nate)

Fosamax is a tablet but CANNOT be split in half.

FOSAMAX is used to prevent or treat osteoporosis in women after menopause and to treat osteoporosis in men. In postmenopausal women, FOSAMAX increases bone mass and reduces the incidence of fractures, including those of the hip and spine (vertebral compression fractures). It may also be used to treat Paget's disease of bone and osteoporosis caused by glucocorticoid treatment.

Manufacturer:
Merck Frosst

Directions:
FOSAMAX should be taken with plain water, first thing in the morning - at least 30 minutes before the first food, beverage, or medication of the day. Taking FOSAMAX with orange juice or coffee has been shown to markedly reduce the absorption of this medication so it should be avoided.

Patients should be instructed not to lie down for at least 30 minutes and until after their first food of the day. Do not to take FOSAMAX at bedtime or before arising for the day. Failure to comply with these instructions may increase their risk of esophageal problems.

Cautions:
Do not take a FOSAMAX tablets if you:

  • Cannot sit upright or stand for at least 30 minutes because it can cause serious problems in the stomach or esophagus. You will need to stay upright for at least 30 minutes after taking this medication.
  • Are allergic to alendronate, have low levels of calcium in your blood (hypocalcemia), or a problem with the movement of muscles in your esophagus.
To make sure you can safely take FOSAMAX, tell your doctor if you have any of the following:
  • trouble swallowing
  • a vitamin D deficiency
  • a dental problem
  • kidney disease
  • an ulcer or other problem in your stomach or esophagus
Other important information patients should know about before they take FOSAMAX is some patients who are using similar medications have developed bone loss in the jaw (osteonecrosis). Symptoms may include jaw pain, swelling, numbness, loose teeth, gum infection, or slow healing after injury or surgery involving the gums.

Talk with your doctor about the risks and benefits of using FOSAMAX.

Side Effects:
Common side effects may include constipation, diarrhea, full or bloated feeling, headache and nausea.

Serious side effects may include chest pain; difficulty or pain when swallowing; pain or burning under the ribs or in the back; severe heartburn, burning pain in your upper stomach, or coughing up blood; new or worsening heartburn; fever, body aches, flu symptoms; severe joint, bone, or muscle pain; new or unusual pain in your thigh or hip; jaw pain, numbness, or swelling.
