actonel monthly dosing

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.

ll let you know the results when I get them. I am also taking Actonel 150mg monthly for the osteoporosis. As far as side effects, I have not experienced any in any form. Everything appears all right down below. If I recall, I was on 2 actuations per day for about 6 months and then had a t-level taken which dictated increasing the dose to 3 actuations. In another 6 months, the same story, so I was increased to 4 actuations.

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.

At two years, the head-to-head comparison of ranibizumab with bevacizumab shows visual acuity with monthly treatment was slightly better than with as-needed dosing, regardless of the drug. Monthly treatment resulted in a mean improvement of about half a line better than as-needed dosing. Switching to as-needed treatment after one year of monthly treatment yielded outcomes nearly equal to those obtained with as-needed treatment for the full two years.

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 ?

Yes, weekly labs every week for 4 weeks, (not counting the day they did labs at the end of the 938 dosing period) and then monthly. The roll-over trial is, I understand loosely scheduled for April.

Right hip replacement. I'm on requip, lyrica, cymbalta,celebrex, just starting actonel plus vitamins & calcium. thank you. I'm 76, female. I have osteoporosis of the right hip and osteopenia of the left hip. I have peripheral neuropathy (familial), and two bad knees.

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.

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.

Call your local pharmacist. We at MedHelp are not allowed to give out dosing instructions. Your pharmacist will be able to tell you exactly how to dose the medications. If your regular pharmacy is closed on Sunday, call any pharmacist availabe at your local grocery store or drug store such as Walgreens, CVS, or RiteAid.

I recently had a prescrip changed for a pain med I get monthly. The dose chg was minor, but the pharma upon getting the new script computed my refill now based on the NEW instructions, not waiting till the current dose was done. What action do I have this is not what the Doctor intended ?

I'm glad to hear that the vitamin D is helping you for now. I think that hormones and "female problems" such as PMS, fibroids and endometriosis... all go along in people who have autoimmune diseases (and I'm including CFS and fibro). I get SEVERE migraines every month, due to estrogen dominance.

You have helped me in the past with questions of transmission of oral HSV especially to my young son... I test positive for HSV1 in blood testing. My problem is I am having monthly to twice monthly breakouts of hsv sores on the margin of my lip. I have taken 1000mg Valtrex daily for a few months now and I am still getting very frequent outbreaks. This is becoming mentally and physically taxing. Anxiety levels never get a chance to subside which creates a viscous cycle I am sure.

I wondered what the thoughts were on pre-dosing ribavirn in conjuntion with triple therapy. I will be doing the 4-week lead in for Victreslis soon (I hope) and wonder about predoing with ribavirin before the 4-week lead in. My doctor prescribes to the Victrelis labeling --- that is, 100 IU/mL at week 12 means end of treatment. That scares me and I want to do whatever I can to make sure I am clear at 12. I figure this is a last chance now that I am stage 3-4.

The FDA has approved over the counter sale of Oxytrol, a drug aimed at overactive bladder. They have approved it for sale to women bu not men. Men will still require a presciption. (I guess we're too stoopit.

m on goes to extension (also run by Biogen), I may be self-injecting the once monthly drug as well (as opposed to having it administered in hospital as per protocol at the moment). A possible new modality for us? The more the merrier, I say. If it's safe and effective, that is!

Hello, This is not an unusual way of dosing - it averages out. I assume that your original dose was 200 mcg/day and now it is 200 alternating with 250. Your doctor will retest and further adjust your meds in another 4 weeks. It is not unusual to have to increase meds every month for the first half of the pregnancy. In my 2 pregnancies I had to increase monthly up until about 6 months and then levels were stable to the end of the pregnancy.

When I asked pharacist about the price (last year) it was $200/mo regardless of whether it was taken daily or monthly. Now that I have a different perscription plan, Endo thinks I should check the price again. It isn't just the price that is making me anxious, it is the fact that I wonder if it is a sure preventative.

The monthly PMS is making me crazy again. As usual, I'll feel very tired, fatigue, often feel like you just want to sleep right there on the floor. Is this tense permit me to stress dose HC for another 5mcg or 10 maybe. I'm taking 10 each at 7am, 12, 3 daily. Any idea? I know this stress is from PMS coz it also comes with significant mood change. Favourite radio channel become irritating, those people in the office elevator suddenly become my enemies.

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.

during the first two weeks I was seeing him every other day and then after the first 2 weeks, I went on a monthly schedule. The first two weeks he said our goal is to find the daily dosage that will eliminate the cravings, while not taking more than necessary.

Adverse events were more frequent with weekly dosing compared with monthly dosing and at the 80YU dose compared to the 10YU and 40YU group. There was one treatment discontinuation due to adverse event (skin reaction) in the 80 YU cohort. Available immunogenicity data until day 36 are summarized in the table. The majority of subjects demonstrated evidence of an HBV-specific immune response as assessed by LPA.

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.
