Do I need to take Ossica 150mg if I have ostoepenia (I'm afraid of stomach problems)?

The decision to implement treatment is made by the doctor. Osteopenia (i.e. the condition before osteoporosis) is an indication for the use of drugs that reduce the loss of bone tissue and increase its strength. Ossica may cause irritation to the lining of the digestive tract, so use caution when using this medication. The exact procedure for taking the preparation is included in the leaflet; It is important to familiarize yourself with the method of use to avoid side effects:

Information in the summary of product characteristics:

"Oral administration of bisphosphonates can cause local irritation of the mucous membrane of the upper gastrointestinal tract. Because of the potential for irritation and potential worsening of the underlying disease, Ossica should be used with caution in patients with active upper gastrointestinal disease (e.g. Barret's esophagus, dysphagia, other esophageal diseases, gastritis, duodenitis and ulceration)."

Not every patient will experience adverse reactions with this medicinal product. The benefit-risk balance of the prescribed treatment should be evaluated. Untreated osteopenia can lead to the development of osteoporosis, the complications of which are associated with the occurrence of pathological bone fractures occurring even after a mild impact. If you find that you will not tolerate this preparation, you should see a doctor to discuss the possibility of using another treatment.
