My doctor has prescribed Fosamax.
When I read the paper work for the meds, I see it can cause problems (especially with stomach problems). I am on pantoprazole for GERD.
Beyond that, I have a stent and take blood thinners and take multiple medication for heart and bp and cholesterol.

I also to pantoloc for GERD , I'm on BP meds, cholesterol, various meds for pain, etc..
