Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar f tn Suzanne, Happy Birthday! I too often wonder how I got old so fast.lol Time flies I guess. I will check out that website. The drs won't let me take things like actonel or that class of drugs as my osteoporosis affected the bones in my jaw and they are afraid to take the chance as with those drugs there is a risk. I was disappointmented about the forteo. I think that drug is more dangerous than its worth personally. Are you still working as an RN?

Avatar n tn I am just tired of taking medicenes that seem to cause other problems. I think I have the GERD from taking Actonel even though I followed the instructions to the letter for taking the Actonel. No longer take it. Just take calcium.
Avatar f tn Then 2 1/2 weeks ago I got pain on the right side of my neck. It eventually was a swollen lymph node under my jaw. The following day my armpit began to hurt. There was a sore there so I applied a warm towel and the swelling went down some, but the bump is still visible. I'm not sure if it has anything to do with a swollen lymph node there. The pain has been gone in both areas for awhile now but I still feel them.
Avatar n tn dental work - there are blackbox warnings about osteonecrosis of the jaw (bone death) The mother of a woman that I worked with took Fosamax for a few months and her teeth began to loosen - an oral surgeon had to pull teeth from a quadrant of her mouth and add some sort of bone replacement. The oral surgeon who did my root canal 2 years ago told me (reluctantly) agreed that the bone drugs are becoming controversial.
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 m tn When he went down, she was near the stairs, completely stiff. There was blood at her mouth and her jaw was clamped tightly. Until this morning she had no other problems other than hip dysplasia, for which she was receiving glucosamine every morning. She did not eat her dog food yesterday but she did eat some of the cat's dry food this morning. She had been drinking a lot of water the past two days. She did not give us any sign that anything else could be wrong.
1969304 tn?1325893751 One of our kitties has about half her lower jaw bone that has died. Our vet gave us a CD copy of her film (not sure if x-rays or another type of scan) and part of the lower jaw bone is just 'gone' and one largish piece has broken away and moved towards the middle of her mouth.
Avatar m tn During this last week I have had severe pain in my jaw on and off, and starting on one side of my face and then going to the other side the next day. Jaw is flexible, movable, does not lock. Major pressure from my cheeks to the jaw. My wife has had similar symptoms as well. The only reason i even mention this is during the last3 months I have had three injuries to fingers on my left hand.
Avatar n tn I have a cat who bit through his tong and is missing his lower fang. He is an outdoor stray I have been taking care of. I read that cats can get this sort of injury from a jump where they hit their jaw. He can't seem to eat or drink. His tong is split on the side, but he can lick his nose. He is salivating. He can't seem to eat or drink. I finally could take a closer look today. His upper fang is on the inside of the lower fang he still has.
1175033 tn?1492201228 I had a popping of my jaw for many years. Worse on the right side of the jaw then the left. It was slowly getting worse, loader popping, more pain. Had difficulty eating certain things like chocolate and dense breads. It started popping while biting slowly onto things like chocolate...very unpleasant. So last June, my life got extra stressful. A death in the family, job loss, and I have Gastritis and had a scope procedure to check on my gastritis.
Avatar f tn can even cause death. All you need are antibiotics but you really need to go to your vet now.
720656 tn?1311040235 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.

Avatar n tn 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.
