I asked ChatGPT about Fosamax. How does the medication Fosamax fake your DEXA score?
Here’s how
Fosamax
can influence Dexa (Dual-energy X-ray Absorptiometry) scores, potentially "faking" an improvement: Increased Bone Mineral Density (BMD):
Fosamax
helps increase bone mineral density by reducing bone turnover, particularly by decreasing the activity of osteoclasts (cells that break down

Fosamax phobia
I have thinning of the femoral neck -2.8 and the recommended treatment for my osteoporosis is either
Fosamax
or Antonel. Frankly, I have been hesitant to treat this condition. In reviewing the side effects, both appear to have adverse effects on the G.I. System.

Six compression fractures in lower spine
On
Fosamax
and calcium citrate plus vitamin D3. Dexa score is -2.9. Should I be on something stronger?

New person here...
I'm not thrilled to be on Prednisone long term, along with
Fosamax
to protect my bones, but it is wonderful to once again be able to dress myself, put on my socks & shoes, tie my own shoes and numerous other things!

Alendronate/Fosamax
Good Morning All~ Anyone using
Fosamax
? How Long? Any serious side effects? Any results? I just started taking because I was scared into it and have a hx of fractures. Still am uncomfortable with taking it and eventually being able to come off of it.

Very Exciting News!
I have basically been pharmaceutical drug-free, though, I did take about 9 doses of
Fosamax
at two different times, the last being in September. For reference, google tells me
Fosamax
might improve bone density from 4-6% over three years.

Am I an "outlier"?
I was diagnosed with PMR in August, 2022 and put on 13 mg of prednisone daily and 70mg of
Fosamax
, once weekly (to counter the bone loss associated with prednisone), In the fall of 2023, I finally got down to 1mg of prednisone every other day and at my annual physical in late December, my doctor said

Fosamax
Been on
Fosamax
for almost 5 yrs with no problems. Now I have a problem. Need tooth extraction and need to stay off
Fosamax
. I’m getting different opinions as to how long to stay off. Endocrinologist says 3-4 weeks is enough time. Oral surgeon and others say 3-4 months pre and post surgery.

A tooth with a life of it's own!
But I had been on other ones - Evista, Actonel,
Fosamax
before the alendronate. Further I am currently on a proton pump inhibitor and H2 blockers, which aren't great either for the bones.

Fosamax??
Is it true that
Fosamax
only strengthens the outside of the bone and that the core of the bone still continues to weaken? Thats why taking
Fosamax
is not good to take long term because it will cause femur fx!

Getting off Prolia
I’m not taking it and have a prescription for
Fosamax
once a week tablets instead. My question is, should I start taking the tablets on the day that the next Prolia injection is due, or earlier to allow for some overlap?

fosamax/strength training
I was at -2.7 a year ago. since then I started once/week
fosamax
(only bloating as a side effect) and began strength training 3 months ago. my Dexascan last week showed -2.3. Unsure if its was due to the
fosamax
, the strength training or most likely both.

supplements and medicine
I take supplements and strontium citrate just 250 mgs per day on days that I don’t take
fosamax
. I am trying to take
fosamax
. The protocol is 35 mgs or 70 per week. I get bad stomach aches from the medicine so I got the daily 10 mgs only. I take what I can deal with which is 5 mgs.

just trying fosamax
I was given 7 total
fosamax
tablets and I take 5 mgs per day for now which equals 35 mgs per week which is the lowest dose. I can break the 10 mgs in half so it’s a total of a 14 day supply.
