Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

alendronate palopegteriparatide

Applies to: alendronate and palopegteriparatide

Alendronate may alter the effects of palopegteriparatide in regulating the amount of calcium in your blood. You may need extra monitoring to safely use both drugs. Talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns. Contact your doctor promptly if your condition changes or you develop symptoms of high levels of calcium in the blood (hypercalcemia) such as nausea, vomiting, constipation, lethargy, muscle weakness. Likewise, contact your doctor as soon as possible if you develop symptoms of low levels of calcium in the blood (hypocalcemia) such as numbness or tingling around your mouth, muscle cramps, uncontrolled muscle movements, irritability, depression, irregular heartbeats, or confusion. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

alendronate food

Applies to: alendronate

Food may reduce the absorption of alendronate, which may lead to lower blood levels of the medication and possibly reduced effectiveness. You should take alendronate first thing in the morning, at least 30 minutes before you eat or drink anything or take any other medication. Take each dose with a full glass (6 to 8 ounces) of water, and use only plain water (not mineral or vitamin water). Do not take alendronate if you cannot sit upright or stand for at least 30 minutes. Because alendronate can cause irritation and ulcer in the stomach or esophagus (the tube that connects your mouth and stomach), you will need to stay upright for at least 30 minutes after taking this medication. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you have questions on how to take this or other medications you are prescribed. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.
