Get a alendronate (generic Binosto) prescription online for osteoporosis treatment

Alendronate is prescribed to prevent and treat a number of conditions that affect the bones. This medication is commonly prescribed to women after menopause to prevent osteoporosis – a very common disease in which bones become weak and brittle. It is also used to treat existing osteoporosis cases in men. It may be prescribed to men or women who are taking corticosteroid medication – treatment that may cause osteoporosis – as a preventative measure against the disease.

According to the Cleveland Clinic, osteoporosis affects nearly 54 million Americans. Both women and men can be affected by this osteoporosis, but women are four times as likely to contract the disease as men.

In addition to its use as a treatment for osteoporosis, alendronate may also be prescribed to treat Paget’s disease – a bone disease that affects your body’s natural recycling of bone tissue. This slow-developing condition gradually softens and deforms bones, making fractures and other complications more likely.

Alendronate has been shown to cause some side effects. If these reactions do not go away within a few days or become severe, talk to your health care provider.

Common side effects reported while taking alendronate include:

• Nausea
  
• Constipation/ diarrhea
  
• Gas/ bloating
  
• Stomach pain
  
• Headache
  
• Dizziness
  

This is not a complete list of adverse effects. If you experience swelling in the joints, muscle spasms, chest pain, rash/ itching/ or hives, hoarseness or a sore throat, or bloody vomit, seek medical attention immediately.

As with all prescription medication, be sure to inform the prescribing doctor about any medical conditions you have been previously diagnosed with and any medication/ supplements you are currently taking before starting treatment with alendronate. Alendronate can interact with other forms of medication and substances, causing potentially serious side effects. Before starting treatment with alendronate, let your doctor know if you are pregnant or plan on becoming pregnant.

Alendronate is commonly prescribed as an oral tablet. Take this medication on an empty stomach – preferably as soon as you get out of bed in the morning. After taking alendronate, wait at least 30 minutes before eating or drinking anything.
