Common Questions and Answers about Actonel once a month
actonel
I take once monthly Actonel. 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.
I would suggest that you proceed with the calcium supplementation and talk to your doctor about retesting the levels of calcium after about a month to see if this would come up. After that, then you may already have no contraindications is using Actonel.
All of these drugs and supplements may aid in preventing side effects of aromasin such as that of further lowering of bone mineral density and bone pains.
About two months ago, it got so bad, I had to buy a suppository laxative... It helps a lot, but it still is a pain. I also get diarrhea a couple of days later, but it's not as painful or as bad as the constipation. Outside of these times, I usually can go every day or every two days.
I eat foods with lots of fiber, changing my diet, and I can never predict when this will happen.

I have been to the allergy clinic and am taking weeking allergy shots, also to a pulmonologist and there is nothing wrong that he can find - he thinks I may have a slight case of asthma based on the pulmonary tests done at the hospital with mevacor to induce asthma. He doesn't thinki that asthma is my main problem. Every doctor seems to think it is allergies. I have also recently been to an ear, nose, and throat specialist.
I had a Reclast infusion and within a month my blood pressure had gone from 120/60 to 216/112. I thought I was having a stroke. I am now taking a beta blocker to keep my bp in control. I would NEVER do Reclast again.
I also tried Boniva for two months and got terrible vertigo.
Since my T score is going down, I am going to try Evista.
My whole weekend is going of like this since a month. It is making me weak. Doctor gave me an antibiotic but again next week it recurs. Body aches mostly knees and ankles [ i suffer through osteoporosis and joint pains too but the pains were not troublesome earlier] Can anyone tell is it viral or anything else.
I have IBS> I started to take fosamax once a week (for osteo). did so for 4 weeks. it seemed to bother my esophagus (bumping, reflux) so my doctor suggested actonel. i took one pill a week ago and since have had increasing sensation of a lump in my throat, and like I'm full of phlegm that I can't ever swallow down. I can eat so of course I am swallowing. I'm off all drug right now but throat/phlegm sensations feel settled in, especailly bad at night, and are anxiety provoking.
Hi guys. I started taking Lexapro for my depression/generalized anxiety disorder about two years ago. For the first year, I took the drug every day as prescribed by the doctor. I didn't get any side effects which I thought was great. The drug wasn't of much help, though. A year ago, I decided to stop taking Lexapro on my own. I tried quitting it cold turkey but I wasn't able to follow through with it because of the withdrawal effects.
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. If these are the injections or "shots for osteoporosis" that your mom's physician is discussing there are fairly well know and widely used.
In October, I started having palpitations. Went to see a cardiologist who made me do a holter test and echocardiogram. I had an EKG prior as well and that is what showed pvc's. When I did holter monitor 24 hour test, I barely had any, which defeated the whole purpose! Dr. said to avoid caffeine- which I did. It it wasn't the cause. He said everything was ok and it was normal. Well I've been getting them at least once a month, lasting 2 weeks.
Does Solu-Medrol cause bone aching to be worse and what do you find can ease this awful symptom?
All of my MRI's have shown only tiny lesions that are in my subcortical white matter and my doctor has attributed those to my migraines that I suffered in my mid-twenties. I am now 38 years old. But my doc does beleive that I am presenting with "clinical MS".
I do take Actonel once per month. It does not upset my stomach but I do hate that morning each month. I get up, take the pill with 8 oz of water and have to stay sitting up for 30 minutes. This is not easy for me without caffeine :) While I have had stomach problems off and on, because of the omniprazole, I seem to do ok.
I understand the concern about the impact on your kidneys. For awhile I was on methotrexate and had to go in every month to have my liver checked.
I see a lot of people saying 6 week duo is conclusive and some people say 3 months i feel confidence in experts saying 4 week DUO is enough i have been trying to move on as normal with life i have a girlfriend and a 4 month old baby the thought lingers in my head maybe the test was wrong or something went wrong and i will infect my gf or that in 2 months i will turn positive. This is probably all in my head.
I wondered because they only ever had me take the antipsychotics I've taken once a day and I always heard everyone else talk about taking them twice a day. I'm only awake 12 hours or less a day and the current one I'm on has a half life of 3 days so I guess it's kind of pointless for me to take it twice a day.
