For elderly patients and patients with moderate impaired renal function (CC more than 35 ml / min), dose adjustment is not required.
Drug interactions
The simultaneous use of calcium preparations (including food additives) and antacids impairs the absorption of alendronate. In this regard, it is recommended to take other medications not earlier than 30 minutes after taking Forosa. NSAIDs (including acetylsalicylic acid) can enhance the side effects of alendronic acid from the gastrointestinal tract. Despite the fact that no special studies on drug interactions have been conducted, the use of alendronate in clinical studies with a large number of widely used drugs was not accompanied by the development of clinically significant interactions.
