Common Questions and Answers about Alendronate duration

fosamax

Avatar f tn I took my first dose of Alendronate and then experience significant muscle pain for the next 4 days. Does anyone know if I should expect this to happen each time I take it or is it something to happen for the first few times until my body adjusts to the medicine?
Avatar n tn Do you mean Fosamax (alendronate)? If you do, its for treating bone problems like Osteoperosis by adding bone mass and slows bone loss. I use it for Osteopenia.
Avatar m tn The prescription drug Fosamax (the generic is alendronate sodium) is a medication which has been prescribed to hundreds of thousands of postmenopausal women to treat osteoporosis and help increase bone mass thereby reducing the chance of spinal or non-spinal fractures. Fosamax has also been prescribed to increase bone mass in men with osteoporosis. Brand name Fosamax is manufactured in the United States by Merck Sharp & Dohme Corp., a subsidiary of Merck & Co., Inc.
Avatar m tn The authors examined the effects of high-dose oral alendronate (40 mg daily) for 6 months on 3 adult patients with intractable headache due to fibrous dysplasia of the skull. Each patient had disease processes not amenable to surgery. The patients underwent clinical follow-up at 1, 3, and 6 months. Their pain levels were documented at each visit by using a visual analog scale. All 3 patients demonstrated a significant decrease in pain levels and became independent of scheduled analgesics.
Avatar f tn I am also taking Aromasin for bc. Stopped alendronate (I am osteopenic due to 30 yrs of prednisolone and Arimidex) in case this caused the oesophagitis. Would appreciate your advice.

Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar n tn At present, options include the use of interferon-alfa-based therapy and nucleos(t)ide analogues, such as lamivudine, entecavir, or adefovir. The response rate for precore mutants to interferon-alfa is low, even with a longer duration of therapy, than that for wild-type strains or re-treatment strategies. Lamivudine, entecavir, and adefovir are regarded as safe and efficacious, but they usually require treatment over several years.
Avatar m tn No RVR but EVR which is quite the difference in treatment duration. I feel I will never make another 36 weeks of this hell. Depression is terrible, started Wellbutrin last week, not sure if it has helped yet. Have had quite the rash but find psycological sides harder than physical As I could have been only a week or 2 from RVR arm of study (tx 24 weeks) I am questioning adding a extra 24 weeks SOC treatment. No testing between week 4 and 8.
Avatar n tn while doing masterbation i come out with in 30 seconds. it means that my sexual duration or time to exhaust is only 30 seconds. Any one can help me how to increase the time duration please. waiting for your replies.
Avatar m tn If you look at the question again you will see that I am trying to get info on the duration of the Kristalose (lactolose) once ingested - not the amount of time it takes to have an effect but the length of time it is working in your system once taken. FYI - I am taking Xifaxan (rather expensive though).
Avatar m tn It is only approved for a 12 wk duration by FDA, they tried it for a 24 wk duration in the trials but failed to show a substantial benifit from a 24 wk course compared to a 12 wk course
