Description
- Description
- FOSAMAX is a tablet containing the active substance alendronic acid (commonly called alendronate) and belongs to a group of non-hormonal medicines called bisphosphonates. FOSAMAX prevents the
loss of bone that occurs in women after they have been through the menopause and helps to rebuild bone. It reduces the risk of spine and hip fractures. Your doctor has prescribed FOSAMAX to treat your osteoporosis. It reduces the risk of spine and hip fractures. Osteoporosis is a thinning and weakening of the bones. It is common in women after the menopause. At
the menopause, the ovaries stop producing the female hormone, oestrogen, which helps to keep a woman?s skeleton healthy. As a result, bone loss occurs and bones become weaker. The earlier a woman reaches the menopause, the greater the risk of osteoporosis. Early on, osteoporosis usually has no symptoms. If left untreated, however, it can result in broken bones. Although these usually hurt, breaks in the bones of the spine may go unnoticed until they cause height loss. Broken bones can happen during normal, everyday activity, such as lifting, or from minor injury that would not generally break normal bone. Broken bones usually occur at the hip, spine, or wrist and can lead not only to pain but also to considerable problems like stooped posture (?dowager?s hump?) and loss of mobility. - How to use
- Always take FOSAMAX exactly as your doctor or pharmacist has told you. Check with your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure. Take one FOSAMAX tablet once a week.
