Buy Fosamax

Fosamax is used to treat or prevent osteoporosis in both men and women, either after the menopause or from steroid use.  Men who have osteoporosis buy Fosamax to treat their symptoms.  Fosamax is also used to treat both men and women suffering from Paget’s disease of the bone.

Fosamax is part of a group of drugs known as bisphosphonates.  It works by altering the cycle of bone breakdown and formation in the body.  The drug also increases bone mass, whilst slowing down bone loss, possibly helping to prevent fracturing of the bones.

Side effects of Fosamax

If you are planning to buy Fosamax, there are various side effects associated with the drug that you should know about.  These side effects include the possibility of developing osteonecrosis of the jaw, a condition that causes bone loss in the jaw.  Symptoms of osteonecrosis of the jaw can include loose teeth, numbness, swelling, jaw pain, gum infection, or slow healing times after gum surgery or injury.  Other conditions related to osteonecrosis of the jaw are anemia (low red blood cells) and blood clotting disorders.  Pre-existing dental problems can also be related to the condition.

Other side effects associated with Fosamax include difficulty or pain when swallowing; fever; body aches; flu symptoms; severe joint, muscle or bone pain; severe heartburn; chest pain; bloating; nausea; vomiting; constipation; swelling in the hands or feet; and dizziness.

Symptoms of allergic reaction to Fosamax include swelling of the face, lips, throat, or tongue; hives; or difficulty breathing.  If you experience any of these side effects, or you suspect you are allergic to the drug, seek professional medical attention as soon as possible.

You will be more at risk of developing osteonecrosis of the jaw if you have cancer, or have been treated with steroids, radiation, or chemotherapy.

Precautions with Fosamax

If you are planning to have, or need to have, dental work or dental surgery, you must tell your dentist you are using Fosamax in advance of your dental treatment.  It may be necessary to stop taking the drug prior to your dental treatment for a short while.

If you have ever suffered an allergic reaction after taking alendronate, you must tell your doctor before you buy Fosamax.  You should also speak to your doctor if you have problems with the movement of muscles in the esophagus; low levels of calcium in your blood; trouble swallowing; a dental problem; kidney disease; vitamin D deficiency; if you have an ulcer or other problem in your esophagus or stomach.
To ensure that Fosamax is sufficiently treating your condition, it is advisable to get your bone mineral density tested on a regular basis.  Speak to your doctor about getting regular health tests.

It is not known whether taking Fosamax will harm unborn babies or whether it is passed through breast milk.  If you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy, or breast-feeding, it is extremely advisable that you speak to a medical professional as soon as possible.
