FOSAMAX is the brand name for the drug alendronate, which is a bisphosphonate used to treat and prevent osteoporosis. Alendronate is the generic name for the same medication, and it works by slowing bone loss and increasing bone density. Essentially, FOSAMAX and alendronate contain the same active ingredient, but FOSAMAX is marketed under a brand name, while alendronate is available as a generic version.
