Does taking Fosamax with no side effects portend same with Reclast?

Not on these meds, but Reclast is usually a once a year med, a lot at once… Reclast seems to have a long half-life… things to consider when deciding with your doc…… Fosamax is oral and daily, can upset some peoples’ digestion, generally better tolerated than Reclast, based on what I read. Good luck !

@nycmusic Alendronate aka Fosamax also has a long halt-life in your body. But you may have meant the more immediate effects just as you take it.
Here is an article that references the half-life: Effects of Continuing or Stopping Alendronate After 5 Years of Treatment

Excerpt: "The terminal half-life of alendronate is similar to that of bone mineral, approximately 10.5 years."
