Alendronate Online Prescription

Alendronate - Overview

Alendronate is a medication sometimes prescribed to people with different types of bone disorders, including osteoporosis. People who might need a alendronate prescription can use Push Health to connect with a local medical provider who can prescribe alendronate sodium medication, including alendronate 70 mg tablets, when appropriate to do so.

Alendronate - Dosage and Cost

Alendronate prescription medication, marketed under the brand name Fosamax, is a medication prescribed for the treatment and prevention of osteoporosis in some postmenopausal women and men as well as several other bone conditions - similar to ibandronate (Boniva) and raloxifene (Evista). Typically, alendronate prescriptions are started at alendronate 70 mg once weekly or alendronate 10 mg daily but the final choice of alendronate dosage depends on the judgement of the prescribing medical provider and the health needs of the patient. Alendronate is considered affordable, costing under 40 cents per alendronate 10 mg tablet at many pharmacies in the United States - a cost that may also be reduced by finding an alendronate coupon online. Additionally, some insurance plans may also help with costs associated with alendronate sodium prescription medications.

Can I Buy Alendronate Online?

Alendronate requires a prescription to be dispensed in the United States at a pharmacy. Because of this, alendronate OTC is not available and one cannot just buy alendronate online without going through the initial step of getting an alendronate prescription from a licensed medical provider. However, Push Health can connect people who might need an alendronate prescription with a medical provider who can prescribe alendronate sodium medication, including generic alendronate 70 mg tablets, when appropriate to do so.

Alendronate - Side Effects

Alendronate prescription medication can cause side effects when used and concerns should be discussed with a qualified medical provider before use. Side effects that can occur with alendronate sodium use include gastrointestinal irritation, low calcium levels, bone or joint pain, osteonecrosis of the jaw and femur fractures. More commonly, side effects include constipation, diarrhea, dyspepsia and nausea. Alendronate medication and alcohol should not be used together. People with a hypersensitivity or allergy to alendronate, ingredients in the formulation, or similar medications should not use alendronate prescription tablets.
