hi sir/madam,
Alendronate Sodium is also called Fosamax.
Fosamax can cause irritation, inflammation, or ulcers of the esophagus which may sometimes bleed.
Taking Fosamax exactly as your doctor prescribes can help lower your chance of having esophagus problems.
If you get chest pain, new or worsening heartburn, or have trouble or pain when you swallow, immediately stop taking Fosamax.
direct consultation is required with your symptoms with all detail reports.
hope it was help ful
