Hi have taken this for 3 weeks for bone protection & am wondering if it's the cause of sudden onset of indigestion. Had a dreadful night last night & we were away from home with no medicine cupboard on hand!! This has been building for a couple of weeks I realise & thought it might be my attempt to reduce Omeprazole from 20mg to 10mg.
Also have a bit of a rash on my tummy & upper inner thighs. May not be related.
As I have a slight risk to a femur ( according to my bone scan) I think it's just not worth it. Also had terrible nausea with AA!! Would really appreciate some feed back.
Use live yoghurt every day, by-the-way.
Severe or ongoing indigestion is considered a serious side effect of risedronate. and it is advised that you contact your doctor right away. I do hope that you get sorted quickly. Why are you on osteoporosis medication? Did you have a DXA scan, or other risk factors besides corticosteroids?
Thanks HeronMS. Yes, I asked for a Dexa scan after a 3 year gap & was told I had a moderate risk in a femur, 3 years ago I had good bone density. I am hating these drugs! So if I had not asked for the scan I would not be struggling to find something to suit me & wonder if it's worth the struggle!
Will talk to my GP.
