Fosamax is used to prevent and treat osteoporosis in adults. This means it can be used for both preventing and treating bone loss.

Osteoporosis causes bones to become thinner and break more easily. This can lead to serious fractures, especially in the hip, spine, and wrist.

Your risk of osteoporosis increases with age, after menopause, and if you take long-term corticosteroid medications. These are all factors that can weaken your bones.

Fosamax works by slowing bone loss. This helps to maintain strong bones and reduce the risk of broken bones (fractures).

Fosamax belongs to a class of drugs called bisphosphonates. This is a group of medications that work by slowing down the rate at which your body breaks down bone tissue.

Do's

  • Take Fosamax once weekly, on the same day each week. Choose a day that works with your schedule and stick to it. 
  • Take it first thing in the morning, on an empty stomach, after getting up for the day, before any food, drink, or other medications. 
  • Take Fosamax with a full glass of plain water only. 
  • Swallow the tablet whole. 
  • Stay fully upright for at least 30 minutes after taking it. This includes sitting, standing, or walking. 
  • Wait at least 30 minutes (ideally 1-2 hours) before eating, drinking anything but plain water, or taking other medications. This includes calcium, iron, vitamins, antacids, coffee, tea, soda, mineral water, and calcium-enriched juices. 
  • Take Fosamax regularly for maximum benefit. Mark your calendar or set a reminder to help you remember. 
  • Talk to your healthcare provider about the risks and benefits of long-term use of Fosamax. 

Don'ts

  • Don't chew or suck on the medication. 
  • Don't lie down until you've eaten your first meal of the day.
