What is Alendronate?

Alendronate is a generic drug prescribed to patients with or at risk for osteoporosis, a condition in which bone is reabsorbed back into the body, making bones less dense and more brittle. Osteoporosis affects women during menopause, patients taking steroids, and people with Paget's disease, a condition that disrupts the body's ability to replace bone.

Bone loss is a normal process. Calcium is vital to many of the body's functions, including driving the electrical conductance of nerve cells and activating muscles. The body uses the bones as a “calcium bank,” and reabsorbs calcium from the bones when the body needs it. There are cells in the bone, called osteoclasts, whose only job is to reabsorb calcium from bone and put it in the bloodstream. Normally, bone deposition and bone reabsorption are kept in balance, but in osteoporosis, no matter what the cause, calcium reabsorption outpaces calcium deposition.Alendronate increases bone mineral density by blocking the ability of osteoclasts to absorb bone back into the body and also kills some of these osteoclasts.

Alendronate is administered as a tablet or oral solution. It is prescribed at a high dose once weekly or a smaller dose once daily. For Paget's disease, Alendronate is prescribed at a high dose (40 mg or more) taken daily.

What are the side effects of Alendronate?

While not a complete list, the most common side effects of Alendronate are heartburn, upset stomach, stomach pain, back pain, bone pain, muscle pain, joint pain, chest pain, eye pain, pain when swallowing, headache, weakness, and nausea. Because Alendronate prevents the re-absorption of calcium from the bones back into the body, low blood calcium levels are a common side effect. Symptoms of low blood calcium include muscle spasms, numbness, and tingling. Allergic reactions are uncommon.
