Advice & Tips:
i have been taking this since may of 2019. Medicare will pay for a bone density test every two years; so I will not know if this drug is effective for another year. The bone density test is the reason my gp put me on fosamax. I only have to take one pilll a week. It is fully covered by my insurance.

Advice & Tips:
Prednisolone caused my osteoporosis, and since I have quited Prednisolone, I allso figure that I can quit Alendronate. After all, my bones need to do it's natural exchange of chalck and I don't think it will do me good in the long run, but I am sure it helped me through the period of Prednisolone.
