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.
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.
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.
i am a student at the university of leeds. I study product design and for my final project i am designing a pill dispenser. would anyone feel comfortable answering a questionnaire i have designed towards people who take regular medication?
I have started mega doses of supplements and calcium and D and excercise and I want someone to tell me that that has worked for them. Most comments I get is to take the drug because it's more effective. I can't believe everyone is taking bisphosphonates or other drugs like that.
Please let me hear from you if you see this!,,, Thanks, and hope you are doing well!
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 Nexium and Carafate(Sucralfate). I had changed to Previced but felt Nexium was better. The Sucralfate is great because it acts as a bandade on any inflamed tissues. I have been taking PPI's for SOOO many years and at high doses. No doctor ever told me that a person can get osteoporsis from it. PPI's do not absorb calcium. I found that these doctors just hand the scripts out for this med like candy.
I have osteoporisis. Also am on Vit.
Wow you posted on my birthday and we seem to have a few of the same symptoms. I am in need of relief ASAP. This is the type of pain that wears on your nerves and tends to make one a bit irritable. I am 56 and mine also is mostly at night here's my story.
I am a 56 yr young female. Who is a Christian and loves the Lord. Before all this occurred and even after some what enjoyed living, traveling, dancing, gardening, being with friends and family to the fullest.
Can arthritis in my neck and upper back cause lightheadedness? For the past few months I have been experiencing lightheadedness and some dizziness which seems to start around the same time that my neck and back pain from arthritis has gotten worse. I also have peripheral neuropathy in my feet which may also be part of the cause but I've had that for years and the lightheadedness started a few months ago and is very annoying.
Tested positive for Lyme, on 3 antibiotics, and very arthritic in knees, wrists and kind of in ankles and elbows. I started the antibiotics in January and I know I am better than I was 2 months ago. But deciding to walk across the room is still a conscious decision, as is picking something up or carrying anything. Stairs are still out of the question.
Has anyone on this list gone through the arthritis phase of this disease and have their life back?
The point of my question is, air conditioning seems to magnify the pain of fibromyalgia, and arthritis. I work in a doctors office that it air condtioned, and we have central air in our home. Is it possible that the coldness is making my pain so much worse? There has also been a lot of change in the temperature, and it has rained frequently over the last few weeks.
I have inflammatory arthritis and it went into remission while I was pregnant. Its been 5 weeks since I've had baby and I'm starting to get my pains back.
