In this plan
Purpose, Prevention & Protection
- I know Fosamax slows bone loss and helps my bones stay strong.
- I know why I take it and which broken bones it helps prevent.
- I may not feel it working; bone-density tests and fewer fractures show progress.
- I told my care team about low calcium, kidney or swallowing problems, trouble sitting upright, or a chance of pregnancy.
