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.
