1 | Osteopenia | After 36 hours I had very strong back, neck, chest pains and constipation. | Do not take it, it's a real poison. I almost recovered after 3 days of taking betamethasone 1 mg / day. It will cure my osteopenia with more physical activity, eating less protein, no milk and cakes, lots of fruits and vegetables. | M | 60 | 1 days 70 Mg 1X W | 7/9/2017 | 1 | Osteoporosis | Began with severe lower back pain and gastro symptoms. Didn't make the connection to the Binosto until I visited my doctor and she did tests (negative) and I also went to physical therapy for my back which did not help. I know my body and I was totally fine BEFORE beginning Binosto. Stopped Binosto back in March, after three months, and STILL experience side effects... now have acid reflux and continued gastro issues. When will this end? I will never take an osteo med again, ever. Poison is an understatement for these meds. | F | 55 | 3 months 70 mg. 1X W | 4/28/2014 | 5 | F | 1X W | 6/12/2013 |
BINOSTO (ALENDRONATE SODIUM): Alendronate is used to prevent and treat certain types of bone loss (osteoporosis) in adults. Osteoporosis causes bones to become thinner and break more easily. Your chance of developing osteoporosis increases as you age, after menopause, or if you are taking corticosteroid medications (such as prednisone) for a long time. This medication works by slowing bone loss. This effect helps maintain strong bones and reduce the risk of broken bones (fractures). Alendronate belongs to a class of drugs called bisphosphonates.
