Osteonecrosis of the jaw, generally associated with tooth extraction and/or local infection, often with delayed healing, has been reported in patients taking bisphosphonates(fosamax).
Avoid taking other medications including vitamins, calcium, or antacids for at least 30 minutes after taking Fosamax. Consult a physician before taking any medication that is an anti-steroidal anti inflammatory to avoid any drug interactions.
Fosamax is a prescription grade pain killer. Anyone that tries to quit this drug cold turkey risks going into withdrawal.
ask any pharmacist, they'll know EXACTLY
There is a risk to people who take Fosamax who have dental procedures done. They are at increased risk for death of the jaw bone, which causes pain, swelling, exposed bone, and deterioration of bone.
I do not know if it is as effective as Fosamax but I can say that the side effects from taking Alendronate Sodium 70 mg tabs are not good. This includes constant drooling and difficulty swallowing., Empire Blue Cross Blue Shield now excludes brand name Fosamax but this is a bad decision.
Getting, taking
Fosamax is used for the treatment of osteoporosis. Be sure to sit up for at least 30 mins after taking this drug because it can harm the esophagus (the food tube). Source: A RN in NJ Taught pharmacology to nursing student over 3 years
The concern is the pill can cause severe esophagitis if it is retained in the esophagus. Staying upright supposedly reduces this risk.
You may be able to tolerate this drug, as my mother does very well. For me, I experienced, after one dose, severe flu like symptoms, leg pain, stomach cramps, nausea, vomiting and diarrea. I will not take it again. I think a healthy diet rich in leafy greens, and taking calcium, with vitamin D and K along with magnesium is MUCH better than this terrible drug.
