Guest guest Posted December 23, 2001 Report Share Posted December 23, 2001 Hi Group, I have been on Fosamax for 1 year. Last December I was dxed with osteoporosis and was put on 10 mg. daily. I started having stomach trouble about 2 months ago which I know is because of all the other meds I am on- prednisone & cyclosporin for RP, neurontin for CMT. Hopefully the problem is now solved-1st I was put on Protonix for 12 weeks, and now I am on 70 mg. Fosamax once a week. It's worked very well so far and I don't have very much acid reflux or anything like that. If you find yourself having trouble with 10 mg. daily, see if the Dr. will prescribe 70 mg. weekly. (My new mantra is " Friday is Fosamax Day " ! Hope this helps Midge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is great information that you are all sending. I will find out in Jan the results of the bone density test.. They were talking about Fosomax... I had heard that you can take it just once a week now. Hope you have a great Holiday. hugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
