FOSAMAX (alendronate) is a medication used to treat and prevent osteoporosis. While it is generally considered safe when used as prescribed, it can have potential side effects, such as gastrointestinal issues, musculoskeletal pain, and, in rare cases, osteonecrosis of the jaw or atypical femoral fractures. It's important for patients to discuss their individual risk factors and health history with their healthcare provider to determine if FOSAMAX is appropriate for them.
