Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
When Can Alendronate Be Taken After A Wrist Fracture?
I am considering taking alendronate for ostopenia. I broke my wrist 3 months ago and think I should wait for complete bone healing before I begin this drug as I know it interfers with bone remodeling process. How long after a wrist fracture should I wait before beginning this drug? YYYY@YYYY
I congratulate you on doing your research well. You need to wait until your fracture, probably colles fracture of the wrist has healed, and then begin Alendronate for osteopenia. You are absolutely correct in concluding that it interferes with bone remodelling.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Please do take care and have a nice day.
Regards, Dr. Neel Kudchadkar
