Common Questions and Answers about Actonel and stomach problems

actonel

Avatar n tn While I was pushing the pill through the foil blister, it broke. I did not take that pill for fear that it could cause stomach problems. My question is would it have been safe to take? Also, if I contact Proctor & Gamble, do you think they might replace the pill. If it was a daily pill, I wouldn't worry about, but I just lost a whole month of medicine due to a faulty package design.
Avatar n tn One may develop some kind of intestinal problems with Actonel and the alternative to that is to not to take drug empty stomach, that is to take it after a meal. Please let us know if you may have nay other queries and what your doctor says. Good luck.

Avatar f tn I have taken fosamax and actonel and have had stomach problems and aching bones. My doctor is thinking about the yearly injection of reclast. How safe is it and will I have more problems with my bones aching - I can't sleep at night a lot from the pain.

I take Actonel once a month and my pharmacist said it was fine to take it at the same time as my levothyroxine since Actonel is also supposed to be taking first thing in the morning. Don't mix meds unless you get an all clear from a pharmacist.
Avatar m tn Non-hormonal biphosphonates (such as Fosamax and Actonel) increase bone strength and are available as once-a-week pills. These can also be taken. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
Avatar n tn They are given generally prescribed orally and include Fosamax, Actonel and Boniva. They can cause some severe stomach distress as they did for my father. When this happens there are injectable forms of bisphosphonates. Ibandronate (Boniva injection) is injected into your vein once every three months, and zoledronic acid (Reclast) is injected once a year. If approved by your physician these treatments do not cause stomach distress and you do not have to remember to take a tablet.
Avatar n tn m 40 years old and recently found out that I also have osteo penia in one of the vertabrae in my lower back and my doctor wants me to take Actonel...however, those bone density medications can really exacerbate the reflux problems.
Avatar n tn I have osteoporosis of the right hip and osteopenia of the left hip. I have peripheral neuropathy (familial), and two bad knees.
719868 tn?1230422075 I take 2 0.5mcg of calcitriol and about 2500 mg of calcium supplements a day. I also take Crestor for high cholesterol becasue I guess my parathroid disorder is causing my liver to overproduce now. lovely!
Avatar f tn She also said that Calcium should be spread out during the day and not taken all at once. Due to all my stomach problems, I haven't taken any supplements in weeks. I am going to discuss all of this with her tomorrow. T think I read that thyroid problems can cause stomach issues. Even though I do seem to have some symptoms of thyroid problems, my tests are Aleah's in the normal ranges. A friend of mine, who is also 63, had her thyroid gland destroyed (?
Avatar f tn Yes I have and I also had the same test and my upper gi was also nagative! Try and relax about it which is easier said than done but being that u have had test and doctors said no problem it may just be anxiety I lost a lot of weight worrying in R weeks I lost over 20 lbs n every test came back negative and had 2nd opinions and they too were negative! Hope this helps!
Avatar f tn I was diagnosed with severe gastritis caused by H. Pylori this march and the doctor treated me with antibiotics and some antacids. After some time I repeated the test for H. Pylori and it was negative. But the symptoms weren't gone. I had nausea, heartburn, constant fullness and pain in the stomach even after eating little amount of food, loss of the appetite, chronic fatigue (in the past I've also had candida infections).
Avatar f tn I had similar syptoms four years ago and was diagonsed with diverticulitus if its bad I have anti biotics but when I feel it coming on I drink peppermint tea especially morning and night and now and again ginger ale. It helps and sometimes I can stop an attack before it comes too bad. I suggest you go back to your doctor and ask to be tested for diverticulitus of Irritable bowl syndrome.
Avatar m tn If the pain is above your navel, that is where your stomach is, so check out the diet and possibility of ulcers...and no drinking alcohol until you find out....
Avatar f tn I am a 30 year old female, and for quite a long time I get stomach discomforts from time to time. I do suffer with depression for which I have been taking sertraline for the last 6 months (this all started way before this though) The best way to give you my symptoms is to list them with how often they reoccur.
Avatar f tn s burger, but no chicken nuggets, I tend to eat alot of pasta with butter and parm cheese, it has put some weight on me but it is okay on my stomach. Try to eat chicken, fish, some red meat, and go easy on the junk food and soda if you drink it and let me know how you make out.
Avatar n tn For the past year i have been dealing with on and off stomach problems. It started with getting sick in the middle of the night after drinking beer. So sick i thought it was food poisoning. That happen the next time i drank(2drinks) also. So i stopped drinking. What has been happening sence then is out of no where i feel weak for a day. Almost like i am getting the flu and then i have mild pain in my upper abdomen and my stomach feels like it is burning with acid.
Avatar m tn If your symptoms do not go away, then you need to see a Gastroenterologist, he is most likely going to do an Endoscopy to take a look and see if your stomach lining is inflamed or if you have an ulcer, If you do have to see a Gastro, stop taking any Acid Pump Prohibitors ie: Prilosec, Omeprazole etc, these medications supress HPylori and any tests will come up negative, even if the bacteria is present.
Avatar n tn shortly after went outside for walk almost immediately got hot, sweaty, heart rate increased, stomach and body feeling very weird...went back to room but continued to be fevered and stomach upset for two three hours...went to emergency and they did EKG and bloodwork (think they were looking for gallbladder) - all results came back fine...

Constipation is an important cause of hair loss.Once it is treated,hair loss will also be treated. Increase the fiber amount in your diet.

I've had my glablater checked also and everything came up fine.i have had constipation my whole life, it's not that i know my body i wish someone could help me! i get weak, tired, pains in my rightside, feel like im going to pass out, vomiting sometimes and now a very weird feeling like there's something very wrong with me.
Avatar f tn right side of rib cage, went from constipated to going all of the time. Everytime I eat my stomach bloats and I have to use restroom. Horrible pain after I eat also. Feeling of fullness...even if all I eat is a cracker. They have done blood work, xrays,ct scan,ultrasound of gallbladder and everything is normal. They recently did more blood work, stool samples and I have an endoscope & colonostmy scheduled. My stool goes from black tary to normal color and liquid. I'm at my wits end!
Avatar m tn But i have been drinking the Valerian Root Tea for few days now and from yesterday i started having this stomach pain. And when i go to bathroom its not normal. It feels like i have diarrhea but i dont but i feel like i need to go to bathroom. I wanted to know if these herbal teas could cause this kind of stomach discomfort. I havent been drinking anymore Valerian Root Tea today but i still have the stomach problems.
Avatar f tn Now I have a severe everyday pain lower right side abdomen, I’m clear of appendix and ovary problems and have good, healthy periods. I had a calprotectin test that came up 338, I have impaction of feces and I am now anemic. Does anyone have any ideas on what this is ?
Avatar m tn This initally had good results, but I have evolved into mild constipation and the stomach distress and gas seems to be escalating again. I am taking 300mcg Synthroid, 5mcg Cytomel,daily, vitamins, one HCL and a Digestive enzyme with each meal. I feel pretty good with current thyroid regime, though I do need 10hr of sleep to feel normal, it takes awhile to get going am, and still feel moody. I eat well, lots of veges , cooked and raw, fruit, low meat intake, lots of water.
