The generic name for Fosamax is alendronate sodium.
Fosamax is a prescription drug used to treat older people suffering from osteoporosis. The drug was designed to increase bone mass which subsequently reduces the risk of bone fractures. One reported side effect with Fosamax is jaw osteonecrosis. A few years ago, studies also indicated drugs like Fosamax for a long time may weaken bones.
Fosamax is a prescription grade pain killer. Anyone that tries to quit this drug cold turkey risks going into withdrawal.

All of them. Every single company in the world.
Fosamax is the brand name for the drug alendronate sodium. Prescribed for post-menopausal women and men with osteoporosis, Fosamax works by reducing bone degeneration, a process referred to as "resorption." Related to natural bone-regulating chemicals, the drug does not inhibit bone mineralization. Consequently, one can take alendronate sodium along with calcium and vitamin D supplements and see some bone mineralization. Unfortunately, the human body does not absorb the drug well, and much of it is excreted through the kidneys.
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.
