Follow the directions for using this medicine provided by your doctor. Take Alendronic Acid exactly as directed.
For the prevention of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women, the usual dose is one 5 mg tablet each day.
For osteoporosis due to corticosteroid medicines in men, premenopausal women and postmenopausal women using oestrogen, the usual dose is one 5 mg tablet each day.
For Paget's disease of the bone, the usual dose is one 40 mg tablet each day.
Take Alendronic Acid after getting up for the day and before taking your first food, beverage, or other medication. Do not take it at bedtime.
Swallow Alendronic Acid whole with a full glass of plain water only. It is important to take Alendronic Acid with plain water only, not mineral water. Mineral water and other drinks, including fruit juices, coffee and tea, will reduce the effect of Alendronic Acid by interfering with the absorption into the body.
Stay upright for at least 30 minutes after swallowing Alendronic Acid. Do not lie down immediately after swallowing it. It is important to stay upright, for example, sitting, standing or walking around, for at least 30 minutes after swallowing your tablet. It is also very important to stay upright until after you have eaten your first food of the day. These actions will help make sure your tablet reaches your stomach quickly.
Wait at least 30 minutes before taking any food, other drinks or medicines. Alendronic Acid is effective only if taken when your stomach is empty. Food, drinks other than plain water, and other medicines will lessen the effect of Alendronic Acid by interfering with its absorption into the body.
Do not chew or suck on a tablet of Alendronic Acid.
It is important that you continue taking Alendronic Acid for as long as your doctor prescribes. Alendronic Acid can only treat your osteoporosis, or help prevent you from developing osteoporosis by helping prevent further loss of bone and continuing to rebuild bone, if you take it every day.
If you forget to take Alendronic Acid, skip the dose you missed and take your next dose the following morning. Do not take a double dose to make up for the dose that you missed.
Keep Alendronic Acid in a cool dry place.
Before taking Alendronic Acid, tell your doctor if:
you are allergic to any medicines;
you have kidney disease; swallowing or digestive problems; or you have low blood calcium;
you are pregnant or breast-feeding.
