Alendronate Sodium - Fosamax, Scientifically

Alendronate Sodium, the scientific or generic name for Fosamax, is an FDA approved bisphosphonate medication used to treat or prevent the onset of Osteoperosis mainly in pre-menopausal women.

This medication is also recommended to prevent bone loss in cancer patients, particularly individuals who have had prolonged steroid use (such as prednisone or cortisone)

Alendronate Sodium is prescibed as a daily or weekly pill, and can also be dispensed through an IV.

The weekly pill also contains a week's dosage of Vitamin D. Individuals taking this medication are advised to get adequate calcium and Vitamin D each day and to avoid any invasive dental procedures.

Recent investigations have revealed a link between Alendronate Sodium and a painful bone disease of the jaw, Osteonecrosis.
