alendronate and no progress

Here's a tip for taking Fosamax. If you wait 2 hours before eating breakfast, you can gain an extra 40% absorption as compared to only waiting 30 minutes. This is called out in the Fosamax medication insert. One other thing to consider would be only drinking low calcium water (reverse osmosis or distilled) for those two hours to avoid calcium in the water.

Somewhat. I took Boniva for 2 years. My spine stayed the same but my hip decreased slightly. Going the natural route now.

You seem to know a lot about this disease are you a doctor? There is a lot of terminology that is being used that I am not aware of. Is there a particular site that I can go to to become familiar with all of these terms and tests that some these people talk about. I only know that I am -4.3 and age 72, I am taking 80 mg tymlos daily by injection. Any help would be great!

I want to quit so bad because I do t k is if it’s worth taking these drugs. I work out every day and I have not had any broken bones and am in good health otherwise. I tried Prolia with bad effects and Alendronate is not agreeing with me. I want to quit cold turkey and your statement makes me want to quit. So thanks for posting this.

Does the amount of water you drink to take the pill affect its efficacy?

I had progress after 2 years with Alendronate and then loss at the next DEXA scan after the next 2 years. I was taken off of it right away and am now on Evenity.
