Suggest Treatment For Side Effects Of Alendronate
Question: I took my 10 mg weekly dose of methotrexate and fosamax which I just started in past 1-2 months. That night I was really nauseated and vomited several times and found myself gasping for breath with stridor in between vomiting episodes. This was accompanied by a temp (100deg) and body aches. I also experienced this weird metallic taste in my mouth the day of the dose of alendronate and for another day or two afterward.
Brief Answer:

Detailed Answer:
Good evening
Thank you for writing on health care magic
Well, these are known side effects of alendronate. IT does cause acidity, nausea and occasionally vomitting. Fever is a bit unusual, but looks like you had a reaction to the drug.
I would like to know a few more details:
1. Did you take methotrexate and aledronate on the same day?
2. You took it empty stomach right?
3. Did you continue the drug after that dose or you discontinued it??
Do let me know these details. Would guide you further from here on the alternatives and further course
