Who’s taking Actonel?

Posted by cm4713 @cm4713, Aug 18 11:11am

Has anyone been taking Actonel? All the other drugs are mentioned, but no Actonel. I take it once a week with no side effects thus far.

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

I take it - the generic which is Risedronate Sodium. I've been on it for two years with no adverse side effects and an improved DEXA scan.

Great to hear. My stomach is a bit upset for a few hours after my every Monday pill, but gets better as day goes on. I take the pill with lots of water and sit up for 30 minutes.
