Active Ingredient & Action
Alendronic Acid (Alendronate Sodium) works by inhibiting osteoclast-mediated bone resorption, leading to an increase in bone mass and a decrease in the risk of fractures. It is a potent inhibitor of bone resorption, which helps to maintain bone density and reduce the risk of osteoporotic fractures.

It is essential to take APO-ALENDRONATE with a full glass of water, and to remain upright for at least 30 minutes after taking the medication to minimize the risk of esophageal irritation.
