Scientific Evidence:

Alendronic acid, the active ingredient in Alendra tablets, belongs to a class of medications called bisphosphonates. These drugs work by inhibiting bone resorption, leading to an increase in bone mineral density and a reduced risk of fractures. Clinical trials have shown that alendronic acid is effective in reducing the incidence of vertebral, non-vertebral, and hip fractures in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis.

Additional Information:

It is important to follow the dosing instructions carefully to ensure the effectiveness of Alendra tablets. Common side effects may include gastrointestinal irritation, so it is advisable to remain upright for at least 30 minutes after taking the medication to reduce the risk of esophageal irritation. Consult your healthcare provider for more information on the use of Alendra tablets.
