I wanted to reach out to see if anyone has had experiences with * Risedronate*, as I’m a bit confused and would appreciate your input.

I’ve been taking *Alendronate* for osteoporosis, but I’ve started experiencing hair loss. I mentioned it to my doctor, and she assured me that the hair loss is not related to the Alendronate. However, I’m still concerned and wondering if it might be linked to something else.

My doctor has now suggested switching to *Risedronate*, as it may be gentler on my esophagus (since I have acid reflux) and taking it once a month could be better for my digestive system. What I don’t quite understand is why we didn’t start with *Risedronate* from the beginning, instead of waiting a year to make this change.

Has anyone here used * Risedronate*? If so, I’d love to hear about any *side effects* you've experienced, particularly regarding digestive issues or anything related to hair loss, as that’s something I’m concerned about right now.
