actonel and heartburn

i currnetly am taking actonel for my bones the past 3 years and klonopin i per night and take alot of vitamins such as B compex etc. no alcohol consumption but i do smoke half a pack of cigarettes per day no other medical conditions known 6 months ago all my blood workups were normal . ANY IDEAS WHAT CAN BE GOING ON WITH ME ?

I am 3 years post breast cancer i had lumpectomy chemo rads i have taken tamoxofen for 2,5 years now on aromasil i had a bone density scan and was told i had low calcuim levels, now on calcuim sandox and actonel asked if i had osetoprosis and was told no have read around actonel and have not taken it yet as of the side effects please can you advice thanks.

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 have osteoporosis of the right hip and osteopenia of the left hip. I have peripheral neuropathy (familial), and two bad knees.

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.

I also have the same sort of pain, especially when I'm working or bending over alot. I tease my husband and tell him that work gives me heartburn....but it's true. I have my bed elevated abour 2 inches higher at the head and it really does help. I take 30 milligrams of Prevacid every single day and have taken it for nearly 9 years to control the GERD symptoms. I have always had the tenderness in the center of my chest as well.

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?

You might want to ask your pharmacist for more specific directions as far as the timing of your meds. 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.

im pregnant with my 4th and suffered horrendous heartburn on them all..my 1st and 2nd baby were born bald and my 3rd had lots of dark hair,i swear she looked like monkey lol but heartburn was the same on them all,cant wait to see if this little one will have hair or not...

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 always get heartburn, and acid reflux 2. I went to a Dr. and described to him my symptons. Since both my parents have ulcers, and members of my family, have had stomach tumors before. the Dr. looked at me, after i was done talking, and he was like "sounds like you do have a problem, come and c me after you have your baby" I was sooooo Mad at him. But he is right there is nothing he can do for me now, so i am going to see another Dr. Tomorow i hope he is more helpfull.

I'm 16 years old and I was diagnosed with Hyperthyroidism (Graves' disease) in July. Since then, I have been on Tapazole (10 Mg, 3x/day). When I was first diagnosed, my T3 was 669; my T4 was 4.5 and my TSI was at 350. I was essentially asymptomatic. Now, my thyroid hormone levels are normal, but my TSI is slowly decreasing (it's 325 now). Lately, I've been having severe heartburn. I eat a snack when I come home from school and that's all.

Yes heartburn is the as worst but milk is the best way to decrease heartburn ...

With my first son I had heartburn bad and throughout the whole pregnancy and he was bald. With my daughter I had no heartburn and she came out with a full head of hair.

food, smelly wind, sore bowels, itchy nd burning bottom. Iv put lots.of weight on and have bone and joint pain 24-7. I feel original symptoms were due to emotional problems and depression not being treated, my doc is not interested in.helping cus of budget cuts, I'm.

He wants me to see a rheumatologist but an available appointment will be months away. I am 75 and have been on Vytorin for at least 5 years as well as Actonel. My bone scan last year was good for someone my age. What should I do while waiting to see an arthritis doctor? How serious could this be?

Osteoporosis medications like Raloxifene (Evista), alendronate (Fosomax), risendronate (Actonel) and ibandronate (Boniva) all can cause flu like symptoms in individuals that are taking them. I am not sure what medications you are on, but this could be your problem.

I'm 24 weeks pregnant and have been having terrible heartburn for the last weeks. My doctor prescribed Zantac and I can take up to 2 tablets, one every 12 hours. The thing is, today is the first day I had to take 2! These last days one was enough, and today, honestly, none of the tablets have worked. I'm so worried, plus, still have this heartburn and have no clue how to deal with it! It's so uncomfortable and painful! :( Has any of you been through this?

I too suffered from intense heartburn my Midwive put me on Pantoprazole a sub for protonix it works AWESOME,AWESOME,AWESOME with no side effects it is prescrption but Im telling you try it the other OTC **** dont work this is one pill a day and no heartburn whatsoever if you miss a day you still dont get heartburn

I had tons of heart burn with my 5yr old and he had a ton of hair so in my experience yes its true. But I've had ffriends with heart burn the whole time and there baby was bald.

Hi I'm cue 19 Feb and I get heads his seems like every day and I just started getting heartburn about 2 weeks ago and I can sleep for days if someone would let me.

Oh boy oh boy has heartburn and burning burps became and aggravating friend. I had it with my last pregnancy and was told my son was going to come out with a head full of hair and it was true in my case. How many of you believe this to be true?

I get really bad heartburn and have with all my pregnancies. My first two were boys and this one is a girl so nope it doesnt matter. I always heard that heartburn means your baby will have lots of hair. Though I dont believe in old wives tales lol. Funnily enough though both my children had heaps of hair!!!

Thanks for the replies...the heartburn just started the past couple days. I do find that TUMS helps a little but not for long! Felt like I had a huge air bubble stuck centrally under my ribcage! UGH...the panic attacks started about 2 mos ago and now I have almost all day anxiety. I dont have my lab results to post, I was just told I was hyper. Im having a biopsy done on the mass in my neck on Wednesday. So my anxiety will be sky high at least until thats over!

Nope, Xanax. I was just saying how I'm trying to avoid heartburn, being off Nexium and all. But, nevermind, I looked it up and found out Xanax does wear away the area where the stomach meets the esophagus.

have graves.tsh has in past been in the 0.000 to 0.0015 range now up to 58.72 am experiencing constant heartburn is this normal? i know the 20 extra pounds in a month isn't but this heartburn is making me miserable i can't even drink water for heaven's sake without getting heartburn. ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
