Prevent and treat osteoperosis with Fosamax

Fosamax strengthens joints and increases bone mass, treating and preventing osteoporosis in men and women.

Osteoporosis is a disease that causes bones to become more porous, gradually making them weaker and more brittle (‘osteo’ means bone, ‘porosis’ means porous.) Our bodies go through a continuous bone-building cycle, in which old bone is broken down and new bone is formed. Osteoporosis is caused by an imbalance in this cycle, in which too much bone is broken down and not completely re-built.

Today, over 10 million individuals have or are at risk of osteoporosis – 80% are women. Almost 34 million more people have low bone mass, placing them at increased risk for osteoporosis. Yet only a relatively small number of men and women with osteoporosis have been diagnosed or treated. This is largely because few people experience symptoms in the early stages.

Fosamax is a medicine that is primarily used to prevent and treat osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. It is also used to increase bone mass in men with osteoporosis, and is prescribed for both men and women who have developed a form of osteoporosis sometimes caused by steroid medications such as prednisone. This drug can also be used to relieve Paget's disease, a painful condition that weakens and deforms the bones.

Caution:

You should not use Fosamax if you have certain disorders of the esophagus, are unable to stand or sit upright for 30 minutes, have severe kidney disease, low blood calcium, or are allergic to Fosamax.
