Alendronic acid is a medication used to prevent and treat osteoporosis, a condition where bones become weak and fragile. It belongs to a class of drugs called bisphosphonates, which work by slowing down the rate at which bone is broken down in the body. This helps to maintain bone density and reduce the risk of fractures, especially in the spine, hips, and wrists.

Alendronic acid is most commonly prescribed for postmenopausal women and people who are at an increased risk of bone loss due to age, long-term steroid use, or underlying health conditions. By reducing bone turnover, it strengthens bones and supports long-term skeletal health.

It is usually taken once weekly in tablet form. To maximize absorption and avoid irritation to the esophagus, the tablet should be swallowed whole with a full glass of water on an empty stomach. Users must remain upright for at least 30 minutes after taking the dose and should avoid eating and drinking (except water), or taking other medications during that time.
