WHAT ALENDOMAX IS AND WHAT IS USED
FOR
WHAT IS ALENDOMAX?
ALENDOMAX is a tablet containing the active substance Alendronic acid
(commonly called
alendronate) and belongs to a group of non-hormonal medicines called
bisphosphonates.
ALENDOMAX prevents the loss of bone that occurs in women after they
have been through the
menopause and helps to rebuild bone. It reduces the risk of spine and
hip fractures.
WHAT IS ALENDOMAX USED FOR?
Your doctor has prescribed ALENDOMAX to treat your osteoporosis. It
reduces the risk of spine and
hip fractures.
ALENDOMAX IS A ONCE WEEKLY TREATMENT WHAT IS OSTEOPOROSIS?
Osteoporosis is a thinning and weakening of the bones. It is common in
women after the menopause.
At the menopause, the ovaries stop producing the female hormone,
oestrogen, which helps to keep a
woman’s skeleton healthy. As a result, bone loss occurs and bones
become weaker. The earlier a
woman reaches the menopause, the greater the risk of osteoporosis.
Early on, osteoporosis usually has no symptoms. If left untreated,
however, it can result in broken
bones. Although these usually hurt, breaks in the bones of the spine
may go unnoticed until they cause
height loss. Broken bones can happen during normal, everyday activity,
such as lifting, or from minor
injury that would not generally break normal bone. Broken bones
usually occur at the hip, spine, or
wrist and can lead not only to pain but also to considerable problems
like stooped posture (‘dowager’s
hump’) and loss of mobility.
HOW CAN OSTEOPOROSIS BE TREATED?
As well as your treatment with ALENDOMAX, your doctor may suggest you
make changes to
your lifestyle to help your condition, such as:
_Stopping smoking _
Smoking appears to increase the rate at which you lose bone and,
therefore,
may increase your risk of broken bones.
_Exercise _
Like muscles, bones need exercise to stay strong and healthy. Consult
your
doctor before you begin any exercise programme.
_Eating a balanced diet _
Your doctor can
