MANUFACTURED BY RELONCHEM LTD
Alendronic Acid belongs to a class of non-hormonal medicines called bisphosphonates. This formulation by RelonChem is a high-potency "Once Weekly" tablet designed to increase bone mineral density. It works by slowing down the action of osteoclasts (cells that break down bone tissue), allowing the bone-building cells to strengthen the skeleton and reduce the risk of fractures.
This medication is a primary treatment for maintaining skeletal integrity. It is used for:
Postmenopausal Osteoporosis: Preventing spinal and hip fractures in women after menopause.
Osteoporosis in Men: Strengthening bones in men with high fracture risk.
Glucocorticoid-Induced Osteoporosis: Protecting bone density in patients taking long-term steroid treatments (like Prednisolone).
Paget’s Disease: Helping to regulate abnormal bone remodeling.
Alendronic Acid (70mg): Formulated as Alendronate Sodium, this RelonChem tablet provides a concentrated weekly dose that is as effective as daily dosing but with better gastrointestinal tolerance for most patients.
Standard Dose: One (1) 70mg tablet once per week.
Frequency: Choose one specific day of the week (e.g., "Alendronate Sunday") and take it on that same day every week.
Missed Dose: If you forget, take it the following morning. Return to your original scheduled day the next week. Never take two tablets on the same day.
Because this medication can cause severe irritation to the esophagus (food pipe), you must follow these steps exactly:
First Thing in the Morning: Take the tablet immediately after getting out of bed, before eating or drinking anything else.
Plain Water Only: Swallow the tablet whole with a full glass (at least 200ml) of plain water. Do not use mineral water, juice, coffee, or tea.
Do Not Crush: Do not suck or chew the tablet, as it can cause mouth ulcers.
Stay Upright: After swallowing, do not lie down for at least 30 minutes. You must remain sitting, standing, or walking until after your first meal of the day.
Esophageal Issues: Do not use if you have abnormalities of the esophagus that delay emptying (e.g., strictures) or if you cannot sit or stand upright for 30 minutes.
Low Calcium: Hypocalcemia must be corrected before starting this treatment.
Dental Health: Inform your dentist you are taking Alendronic Acid, especially before invasive procedures, due to a rare risk of osteonecrosis of the jaw.
Kidney Function: Not recommended for patients with severe kidney impairment ($CrCl < 35ml/min$).
Digestive Warning: Stop use and consult our pharmacist if you develop difficulty swallowing, new or worsening heartburn, or chest pain.
Indicated For: Adults diagnosed with or at high risk of osteoporosis who prefer the convenience of a once-weekly dosing regimen.
Q: Can I take it with my other morning vitamins?
A: No. You must wait at least 30 minutes after taking Alendronic Acid before taking any other medicine, food, or drink (except plain water).
Q: Why is the RelonChem brand preferred by some?
A: RelonChem is a reputable UK-based pharmaceutical supplier, ensuring the tablets meet stringent quality and dissolution standards required for effective bone absorption.
Q: How long do I need to take this?
A: Osteoporosis treatment is long-term. Your doctor will typically re-evaluate your bone density (DEXA scan) every 3 to 5 years to determine if a "drug holiday" is appropriate.
