What is Alendronic Acid weekly Normon used for?
Your doctor has prescribed alendronic acid for you to treat your osteoporosis. It reduces the risk of fractures of the spine and hip.
Alendronic Acid weekly Normon is a weekly treatment.
What is osteoporosis?
Osteoporosis is a thinning and weakening of the bones. It is common in women after menopause. In menopause, the ovaries stop producing the female hormone estrogen, which helps to maintain a woman's healthy skeleton. As a result, bone loss occurs and the bones become weaker. The earlier a woman reaches menopause, the greater her risk of osteoporosis.
Osteoporosis usually does not have symptoms at first. However, if left untreated, it can result in broken bones. Although these usually hurt, fractures of the bones of the spine can go unnoticed until they cause loss of height. The bones can break during normal daily activity, such as getting up, or from minor injuries that would normally not break a normal bone. Fractures of bones usually occur in the hip, spine, or wrist and can cause not only pain but also significant problems such as a hunched posture (widow's hump) and loss of mobility.
How can osteoporosis be treated?
As well as your treatment with this medication, your doctor may suggest that you make lifestyle changes to help your condition, such as:
Stopping smokingIt seems that smoking increases the rate at which you lose bone and, therefore, may increase your risk of broken bones.
ExerciseAs muscles, bones need exercise to stay strong and healthy. Consult your doctor before starting any exercise program.
Eating a balanced dietYour doctor may advise you on your diet or whether you should take any dietary supplements (especially calcium and vitamin D).
