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?
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
Good article on magnesium but not clear about efficacy of magnesium oil. The seller really hypes it's effectiveness, but I'd like an unbiased opinion.
Hi,
Docetaxel (Taxotere) and carboplatin is an approved and effective treatment for ovarian cancer. Docetaxel and paclitaxel have nearly similar efficacy in this setting.
Docetaxel is known to cause less neuropathy than paclitaxel.
All the best, and God Bless!
It was recently documented that the NAP REP 2139 was capable of reducing serum HBsAg levels during chronic HBV infection, improving the efficacy of immunotherapy and facilitating establishment of functional control off treatment.
If it is about its efficacy (how long it takes to act in you system and yield results) I would be happy to answer.
Please clarify your question and re-post if needed.
Some (but not all) antibiotics do lower the efficacy of birth control. If the doctor told you to use a back-up method, you should have listened. Pre-ejaculate can contain some sperm--specifically if he has ejaculated beforehand and not done anything to clear the urethra. If your antibiotics lowered the efficacy of your birth control pill, you very well could ovulate while on your pill.
It varies from person to person and there is a specific dosage range psychiatrists generally use for efficacy but that question is based asked to a psychiatrist. They do a blood test for Depakoate and if it is within a certain blood level then it is generally determined effective and of course the person's response is taken into account as well.
who is right? Dr. Handsfield, or the Merck representative quoting data from a formal study? This isn't meant to sound rude. I'm just honestly trying to understand why Dr. Handsfield (who is an STD expert) disagrees with the study, and why. It is my understanding that upon antigenic exposure, the body initiates antibody production, so I imagine there is no reason why this wouldn't occur following a single dose of Gardasil. One would imagine there would at least be partial protection.
