_To permit adequate absorption of alendrnic acid: _
Alendronic acid Tablet must be taken at least 30 minutes before the

for local and oesophageal

• Alendronic acid Tablet should only be swallowed upon arising for
the day with a full glass of
water (not less than 200 ml or 7 fluid ounce).
• Patients should not chew or crush the tablet or allow the tablet
to dissolve in their mouths
because of a potential for oropharyngeal ulceration.
• Patients should not lie down until after their first food of the
day which should be at least 30
minutes after taking the tablet.
• Patients should not lie down for at least 30 minutes after taking
Alendronic acid.

arising for the day.
Patients should receive supplemental calcium and vitamin D if dietary
intake is inadequate (see
section 4.4).
