Hi. I’ve just been diagnosed with osteoporosis and am due to start on Alendronic Acid tablets. Would appreciate any advice please. I’m also taking Anastrozole and vitamin D tablets. Many thanks
Hi, I am the same, osteoporosis, adcal, letrozole. Had my dental check up and am just waiting a week or two before I start to take them. I was switched to tamoxifen due to osteoporosis and high liver bloods, but only took 4 tablets. Massive fatigue, so stopped and reverted to Letrozole.
Hi
I started on Alendronic but had digestive side effects which got worse after each dose. My GP then switched me to Risedronic which I pleased to say is fine. Hopefully you will be ok on AA but if not I wanted to reassure that switching worked well for me
