Overview

Apo-Alendronate 70mg Tablet is a prescription-only medicine (POM) presented as a tablet, with Alendronate (alendronic acid) 70mg as its active ingredient content.

This page is limited to product, safety and handling information, in line with Malaysian rules on prescription medicine information for the public. Your prescriber or pharmacist is the right source for anything beyond that, together with the leaflet inside the pack.

Through DoctorOnCall, this product is supplied after an online consultation with a licensed doctor and a valid prescription, and it is checked by a registered pharmacist before dispensing. Take it exactly as prescribed, and speak to your doctor before stopping, changing the dose, or starting any other medicine alongside it.

Directions for Use

Take Apo-Alendronate 70mg Tablet first thing in the morning, on an empty stomach, with a full glass of plain water (not mineral water, juice, coffee, or tea) at least 30 minutes before your first food, drink, or other medicine of the day. Swallow the tablet whole – do not crush, chew, or suck it. Remain fully upright (sitting or standing) for at least 30 minutes after taking it and do not lie down, to reduce the risk of irritation to the oesophagus (food pipe).

Dosage

The usual dose of Apo-Alendronate 70mg Tablet is one tablet once weekly, taken on the same day each week. Your doctor will confirm the dosing schedule appropriate for your condition and may recommend calcium and vitamin D supplementation alongside this medicine.

Storage Instructions

Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children.

  • Inability to stand or sit upright for at least 30 minutes after taking the tablet
  • Low blood calcium levels (hypocalcaemia) that have not been corrected
  • Severe kidney impairment

Drug / Food Interactions

  • Calcium supplements, antacids, and mineral supplements significantly reduce absorption if taken too close together – space them apart by at least 30 minutes
  • NSAIDs (e.g. ibuprofen, aspirin) may increase the risk of stomach and oesophageal irritation when combined
  • Coffee, tea, mineral water, and juice all reduce absorption if taken with or soon after the tablet
