Recommend Way To Dislodge Fosamax Stuck In The Oesophagus
I have taken my first dose of fosamax today. I swallowed it with a large glass of water; it immediately felt as if the tablet had stuck in my oesophageal, so I drank a further 2 glasses of water. The tablet moved further down my throat, but still feels lodged. I ate some food an hour later but that does not seem to have dislodged it either. Can you recommend some way of dislodging it further and how can I avoid this situation arising the next time I take Fosamax?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
The tab might have gone into your stomach now because this would not remained stuck inside the esophagus more than hours because it start dissolving there, but such feeling of stuck would be there and this is very common, if you fear for the next time then just crush the tab, and take this with honey, hope this information helps you, have nice day.
