What does fosamax treat?

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.
