Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis Medications, Costs & Savings
Pharmacist insight
Bisphosphonates for osteoporosis must be taken on an empty stomach with a full glass of water, and patients should remain upright for 30 minutes afterward. This prevents esophageal irritation. Generic alendronate is equally effective as brand-name Fosamax for preventing fractures.

MedlinePlus overview of Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis
Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA), previously known as Wegener's granulomatosis, is a rare disease. It is a type of vasculitis, or inflammation of the blood vessels. The inflammation limits the flow of blood to important organs, causing damage. It can affect any organ, but it mainly affects the sinuses, nose, trachea (windpipe), lungs, and kidneys.
The cause of GPA is unknown. It can affect people at any age. Men and women are equally affected. It is more common in whites. Symptoms may include joint pain, weakness, tiredness, and cold symptoms such as a runny nose that doesn't get better. Doctors use blood tests, chest X-rays, and biopsies to diagnose GPA and rule out other causes of the symptoms.
Early treatment is important. Most people improve with medicines to slow or stop the inflammation.
