There are many drugs which have similar-sounding names. I took Fosamax for several years for osteopenia and osteoporosis to strengthen bones. I had to change to a stronger med. this year.
Fosamax (alendronate) is used for osteopenia/osteoporosis.
With CKD stage 3b, monitor kidney function closely and consult your doctor for specific advice.
