Alendronate http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/druginfo/medmaster/a601011.html

Why is this medication prescribed? How should this medicine be used? Other uses for this medicine What special precautions should I follow? What special dietary instructions should I follow? What should I do if I forget a dose? What side effects can this medication cause?
