Anyone else diagnosed with ITP shortly after taking Alendronate

Posted by cindyenos @cindyenos, Sep 23 3:14pm

1 week after my 1st weekly Alendronate tab I stated bruising. Increased bruising for no apparent reason and easily bleeding. Blood work showed platelet drop from 257 to 4 in 1 month. Then diagnosed with ITP. Anyone else have this happen after taking Alendronate?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Autoimmune Diseases Support Group.

Alendronate for years = then ITP & docs say "senile purpura" & not any connection=lie! Alendronate also = ONJ & loss of all molars! Dreadful drug!
