Buy Alendronic Acid online, the active ingredient of the Fosamax medication, which is a type of medicine called a bisphosphonate. Bisphosphonates are medicines that avert the breakdown of bone. In menopausal women blood levels of the female hormone oestrogen start to drop. This results in an increase in breakdown of bone by the osteoclasts, which can cause a loss of bone density. Bone loss is particularly quick for the first ten years after menopause and it may lead to the appearance of osteoporosis - a disorder in which the bones become weak and brittle and break more easily. Osteoporosis can also happen in men and as a result of long-term treatment with corticosteroid medicines such as prednisolone. Other risk factors are smoking, a family history of osteoporosis, early menopause and thin body build. Alendronic Acid is used both to prevent bone loss in people who are at risk of developing osteoporosis, as well as to prevent fractures in people who already have osteoporosis. The medicine works by attaching very tightly to the bone and preventing the calcium being removed by the osteoclasts. This keeps the osteoclasts from breaking down the bone, which helps to keep the bones strong and less likely to break.
