Yes, alendronate can cause heartburn as a side effect. It is a medication used to treat and prevent osteoporosis, and it can irritate the esophagus, leading to symptoms such as heartburn. To minimize this risk, it's important to take alendronate as directed, typically with a full glass of water, and to remain upright for at least 30 minutes after taking it.
