How has taking Fosamax or its generic equivalent affected you?

Posted by zenaida @zenaida, Jun 28, 2024

I have been advised to take Alendronate the generic equivalent of Fosamax but am very hesitant to do so because it could cause problems before I helps. More specifically the medication could cause a broken thigh bone. True or not?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Osteoporosis & Bone Health Support Group.

@dvargo, this is true of the antiresorptives, but isn't true of Forteo or Tymlos. These two not only remove older bone and replace it with new bone, but they both rebuild the collagenous structures that calcium collects in.
I'm glad that you've found a successful way around the medications.
