I have to start taking Binosto for osteoporosis which I'm told to take first thing and then stay upright for 30 minutes before consuming anything else.
I normally take my Prednisolone first thing in the morning. I'm not sure whether I should leave more that 30 mins before I take the Pred.
Does anyone else take these two drugs and how do you take them?
Thank you folks.
Presume it’s weekly? Although paperwork does suggest there is a weekly version.
Many of us who have taken a bisphosphonate have taken a weekly dose, and select a day most convenient to us [I took it Sunday], and yes you need to leave at least 30mins between taking that and any other drug/food/liquid.
Yes it’s weekly. Was more unsure that 30 mins wasn’t sufficient time to leave but am reassured. Thank you.
I had a shower then sat and read emails… you don’t have to stand the full time, just not lie down… and 30 or even 45 mins soon passes.
There probably aren't that many on Binosto. But if you get out of bed, take the Binosto and then have a shower and do as I do and wrap up nicely with a big towel to dry off without bending down before getting dressed, your 30-45 mins will be past without you noticing.
Dr Claire Vandevell told us her mother was on it - she took it on a Monday morning and then went to the kitchen and made a "Monday cake" so she was standing up for the whole time. Now she is off Binosto - her husband is most upset he isn't getting his cake!!
Thank you, will follow the shower advice. The Monday cake sounds too dangerous for me but I could adapt to veg prep!
