Alendronic acid tablets ðŸ˜
I’ve been taking these for a few months and understand that they have to be swallowed properly, and whilst upright, as they can cause problems in the oesophagus. Does anyone one else struggle with these blooming things, even with loads of water etc. Why oh why do they have to be the size of a horse

Omeprazole query
Recently diagnosed and on prednisolone; also prescribed Alendronic acid (weekly dose) and Omeprazole. I thought my GP said that as I have no history of gastric problems to only take the Omeprazole in the evening before I take the alendronic acid the next day. But she has prescribed enough for once daily

Good news on the bone density front
Hi, this group is helpful and supportive and feels like an extended family. So I just wanted to share a bit of good news. I had a DXA 18 months ago not long after starting Prednisolone and my scores were: -0.1 in the spine which was healthy but not so good in the hip: -1.9 Total Hip T score

Prolia
I have just received an email from my GP who has arranged for a F2F appointment to see me beginning January to discuss me starting to take Prolia. My last Dexascan in 2021 did show that I have osteoporosis, and I did take Alendronic Acid for the first two years of having Polymyalgia. Since then I have

Dental work and alendronate
I need a tooth extraction after a tooth has completely collapsed and became infected. The dentist has tried root canal treatment with the hope of adding a crown but it is still infected in the gum and he says it must come out due to a sepsis risk.

PMR/Prednisolone and dental implants

Zolendroic acid after discovering compression fractures. Osteoporosis.
This is an update and a thank you really, as well as info for others. Last time I posted I was puzzled about back pain.

How big are AA tablets
I am considering trying weekly alendronic acid tablets but am worried they will be too big for me to swallow since I have dysphagia (difficulty swallowing).
