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.
