What Alendronate STADA is and what it is used for<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Alendronate belongs to a group of medicines called bisphosphonates.&nbsp;Alendronate Stada prevents loss of bone mass and reduces the risk of spine and hip fractures (bone fractures).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Alendronate Stada is used<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>to treat&nbsp;<strong>osteoporosis (&nbsp;osteoporosis&nbsp;)<\/strong>.&nbsp;It is also used to prevent osteoporosis in patients treated with cortisone preparations (medicines that can be used to treat&nbsp;inflammation&nbsp;).&nbsp;Alendronate Stada may&nbsp;<strong>reduce the risk of vertebral and hip fractures<\/strong>&nbsp;in women and&nbsp;<strong>spinal&nbsp;fractures<\/strong>&nbsp;in men.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Osteoporosis means thinning and weakening of the skeleton.&nbsp;Early osteoporosis usually has no symptoms, but if left untreated, osteoporosis can lead to bone fractures.&nbsp;Although&nbsp;fractures&nbsp;usually cause pain,&nbsp;fractures&nbsp;of the vertebrae can go unnoticed until they cause a decrease in length.&nbsp;Fractures&nbsp;can occur during everyday activities, such as&nbsp;lift, or from minor injuries that would not normally damage a healthy skeleton.&nbsp;These&nbsp;fractures&nbsp;are&nbsp;most common&nbsp;in the hips, vertebrae, and wrists, which can not only cause pain but also other ailments, e.g.&nbsp;cow safety and reduced mobility.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to your treatment with Alendronate Stada, your doctor may suggest that you change your lifestyle (exercise and diet, smoking cessation) to improve your condition.&nbsp;Your doctor can give you more information about lifestyle changes.&nbsp;<br><br>Alendronate contained in Alendronate Stada may also be approved for the treatment of other conditions not mentioned in this product information.&nbsp;Ask your doctor, pharmacist, or another healthcare professional if you have any further questions, and always follow their instructions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2.

If you ignore these symptoms and continue taking your tablet, it is likely that these swallowing problems will get worse.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your levels of&nbsp;calcium&nbsp;and&nbsp;phosphate&nbsp;in&nbsp;your&nbsp;blood may be affected by Alendronate Stada.&nbsp;If you are going to take a&nbsp;<strong>blood sample<\/strong>, it is therefore important that you tell your doctor that you are taking these tablets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Children and young people<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Alendronate Stada should not be given to children and adolescents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other medicines and Alendronate STADA<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or might take any other medicines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tell your doctor if you are taking&nbsp;corticosteroids&nbsp;(medicines that can be used to treat&nbsp;inflammation&nbsp;).&nbsp;You may need to undergo certain tests before starting treatment with Alendronate Stada (eg dental examination).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may get an upset stomach if you take painkillers (eg&nbsp;acetylsalicylic acid,&nbsp;ibuprofen&nbsp;) with Alendronate Stada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is likely that the following medicines will affect the absorption of Alendronate Stada in the body if taken at the same time:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>calcium supplementation<\/li><li>antacids (medicines for heartburn)<\/li><li>some other oral medicines.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, you must wait at least 30 minutes after taking Alendronate Stada before taking any other medicines (see also section 3 \u201cHow to take Alendronate Stada\u201d).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Alendronate STADA with food, drink, and alcohol<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It is likely that food and drink (including mineral water) make Alendronate Stada less effective if taken at the same time.&nbsp;It is therefore important that you follow the instructions in section 3 \u201cHow to take Alendronate Stada\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and fertility<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are pregnant or breast-feeding, think you may be pregnant or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking
