Discontinue Fosamax Plus D when pregnancy is recognized.In animal reproduction studies, daily oral administration of alendronate to rats from before mating through the end of gestation or lactation showed decreased postimplantation survival and decreased pup body weight gain starting at doses equivalent to less than half of the highest recommended 40 mg clinical daily dose (based on body surface area, mg/mDelayed or failed delivery of offspring, protracted parturition, and late pregnancy maternal and fetal deaths due to maternal hypocalcemia occurred in rats at oral doses as low as one tenth the 40 mg clinical daily dose Bisphosphonates are incorporated into the bone matrix, from which they are gradually released over a period of years. In the 24-week double-blind extension study in women (n=619) and men (n=33), the safety profile of Fosamax Plus D (70 mg/2800 international units) administered with an additional 2800 international units vitamin DThe following adverse reactions have been identified during post-approval use of FOSAMAX and Fosamax Plus D. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure.Localized osteonecrosis of the jaw, generally associated with tooth extraction and/or local infection with delayed healing, has been reported Co-administration of Fosamax Plus D and calcium, antacids, or oral medications containing multivalent cations will interfere with absorption of alendronate.

The osteoclasts adhere normally to the bone surface but lack the ruffled border that is indicative of active resorption. Product of Canada. Concomitant administration of alendronate with coffee or orange juice reduced bioavailability by approximately 60%.Following administration of Fosamax Plus D (70 mg/2800 international units) after an overnight fast and two hours before a standard meal, the baseline adjusted mean area under the serum-concentration-time curve (AUCIn a separate study, the baseline adjusted mean AUCPreclinical studies (in male rats) show that alendronate transiently distributes to soft tissues following 1 mg/kg intravenous administration but is then rapidly redistributed to bone or excreted in the urine. Calcium supplementation in the drinking water or by subcutaneous minipump to rats dosed orally with 15 mg/kg/day alendronate could not ameliorate the hypocalcemia or prevent the dystocia-related maternal and neonatal deaths. The oral bioavailability of alendronate in children was similar to that observed in adults.Of the patients receiving FOSAMAX in the Fracture Intervention Trial (FIT), 71% (n=2302) were greater than or equal to 65 years of age and 17% (n=550) were greater than or equal to 75 years of age. of postmenopausal osteoporosis was assessed in a one-year, double-blind, Physicians should therefore be alert to any signs or symptoms signaling a possible esophageal reaction and patients should be instructed to discontinue Fosamax Plus D and seek medical attention if they develop dysphagia, odynophagia, retrosternal pain or new or worsening heartburn.The risk of severe esophageal adverse experiences appears to be greater in patients who lie down after taking oral bisphosphonates including Fosamax Plus D and/or who fail to swallow oral bisphosphonates including Fosamax Plus D with the recommended full glass (6-8 ounces) of water, and/or who continue to take oral bisphosphonates including Fosamax Plus D after developing symptoms suggestive of esophageal irritation.
