A member asked:
Can i just stop taking alendronate tablets on my own or do i need to taper down?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: You can stop alendronate without tapering down. I do not know your reason for stopping the drug or how bad your bone density is so i would suggest speaking with your physician about your plan to stop the medication.
