I take a once weekly alendronic acid 70mgs , will hurt to miss it the one week i'm on holiday ?

Ok to miss one week: There would be no harm if you stopped the medication for one week. This drug is used for the long term treatment of osteoporosis and missing one week would not make a significant difference in you bone mineral density or put you at greater risk for a fracture.
