If you develope heartburn, discuss with doctor. It can cause if you lay down after taking. Usually they order a scope, but remind them you are on Fosamax. Please. I didn’t like doctors ordering this when the cause is the meds. Happens too often. I developed heart burn because of the meds not anything else.
But it does help the bones. 🤞 get my scan today.

Yes, I read the cautions and directions. Fairly important apparently that you don't eat or drink anything for at least a half an hour subsequent to taking the pill first thing in the morning with at least the full 8 oz of water. And then you are not to lie down for at least a half an hour, so sit or stand. and no smoking or drinking. She doesn't drink except maybe a wine on a Friday night dinner so that's not a problem but she does have five or six cigarettes a day. That's her only vice.
