โ How do bisphosphonate tablets work?
Bisphosphonate tablets ๐ like Fosamax and Actonel help protect bone by attaching to the bone surface and slowing the activity of osteoclasts, the cells responsible for breaking bone down. They are taken weekly or monthly and work best when absorbed properly, which is why timing and technique matter. Taking them on an empty stomach with a full glass of water ๐ง and staying upright for a short period can make them much easier to tolerate.
