FOSAMAX
Alendronate sodium
What Fosamax is used for
Fosamax is used to treat osteoporosis. This condition is
caused by changes in the way bone is normally maintained.
About Fosamax
This drug works by binding to cells (osteoclasts) that
reabsorb old bone cells. By decreasing the rate of reabsorption, the body
can add bone mass faster than it would normally be taken away in some bone
diseases. As alendronate sodium is then incorporated into the new bone
(where it is inactive), it must be taken for as long as the results are
desired.
A second generation resorption inhibitor, Fosamax is more effective than
its predecessors at adding bone mass and decreasing fracture risk. The
once weekly dosing option is also convenient of individuals who may have
difficulties with keeping to a medication schedule.
Fosamax is poorly absorbed by the body, even in ideal conditions. Follow
the use guidelines exactly so that the maximum amount of medication is
available to prevent bone loss. Take it on an empty stomach with a full
glass of water, and do not take it in combination with other medications
or any vitamin or food supplements. Do not lay down for a full half hour
to reduce the risk of unwanted side effects.
Conditions treated: Paget's disease of bone, prevention of corticosteroid
induced osteoporosis, prevention and treatment of postmenopausal
osteoporosis. Any other causes of bone loss should be ruled out before
beginning treatment.
Other accepted uses: Prevention and treatment of male osteoporosis.
Understanding bone
Bone is living, growing tissue. Throughout life, our
bodies are breaking down old bone and rebuilding new bone in a continuous
cycle. Until our late 20s, while bones are still developing, we gain bone
by building more than we lose. From then until about age 35 the process is
usually in balance, so that the amount of bone lost is about equal to the
amount that is replaced. After about age 35 this balance is disturbed,
with bone loss occurring at a slightly faster rate than it can be
replaced. In women, after menopause, hormonal changes cause bone loss at
an even faster rate. When bone loss is excessive, bones can become thinner
and weaker, and therefore are more likely to break.
