Alendronic Acid, Stomach Pain

[Tilly2]

I took my first AA pill on Sunday, following the instructions to the letter, and felt fine. Since last evening, however, my stomach has been hurting and I am in discomfort.

Is there anything I can take to stop the discomfort? Would antacid tablets work?
I can't take aspirin tablets either. They cause me considerable pain. Any link between the two medications?

Oh, I am glad you are going to get a solution - I too know ladies who take it with no issue, so fingers crossed.x

One of the four people, that I know with osteoporosis, is my uncle. It can happen to men and women.

glad that's sorted, or about to be.

Tilly, ask your GP about Lansoprazole.

I do realise that sorry, I meant I personally only know ladies who take it.

[Tilly2]

Will do, Danny but I think she would have suggested Lansoprazole, had it been an option.

Thank you, though. I will ask.

[jno]

doesn't lansoprazole cause osteoporosis rather than curing it? Or is that what you meant?

[Mamyalynne]

You won't need the Lansoprazole with an annual injection.

Thanks, Jno. I have been feeling very rough for the last month. Fingers crossed.

I have to go out now.

Thanks all.
