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.

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.

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.
