After taking Ostenil (alendronic acid) tablets, it is recommended to stay upright for at least 30 minutes, as this may lead to a decrease in the effectiveness of the medicine.
In general, oral preparations of this type can irritate the esophageal mucosa, and the lying position can promote gastroesophageal reflux and reduce the bioavailability of the active substance, which affects the effectiveness of the therapy. To ensure optimal absorption of the drug and minimize the risk of side effects, it is recommended to remain upright for at least 30 minutes after taking it.
