alendronate for Prevention of Osteoporosis: The side effects increased with intensity the longer I took it. Muscle, joint and bone pain. I reached the point where I needed a cane to walk. Once I stopped taking it, problems all went away. 3 user(s) found this comment helpful. Did you? Yes No Report as inappropriate

Fosamax (alendronate) for Osteoporosis: I took Fosamax in 2003. I had severe leg cramps. I switched to Boniva because I liked the once a month dose verses weekly. 11 user(s) found this comment helpful. Did you? Yes No Report as inappropriate

Fosamax (alendronate) for Osteoporosis: My wife has been taking Fosamax (once a week form) for four years now without problems - her last scan showed an improvement in osteoporosis. However, she has recently been supplied with a generic alternative. This has resulted in excessive wind and bowel functions. Is there such a thing as a generic equivalent? 115 user(s) found this comment helpful. Did you? Yes No Report as inappropriate
