A member asked:
Should i be worried about the side effects of fosamax?

All medications have side effects. But sometimes the benefits outweigh the risks. You need to discuss with the doctor that is treating you for osteoporosis/osteopenia to evaluate whether benefits outweigh risks in your specific case.

I would go to Drugs.com and look up side effects and then do interaction check with Fosamax and all other meds. Then you and your Dr can do a cost benefit analysis and worry (or not worry) based on that.
