Fosavance Information

Fosavance (Alendronate) is a combination medicine primarily used in postmenopausal women and in men to treat and prevent osteoporosis, a condition that weakens bones, making them fragile and more likely to break. It is used to significantly reduce the risk of spinal and hip fractures and to increase bone mineral density in men with low bone mass or a history of osteoporotic fractures. It is especially useful when they are also prone to low vitamin D levels.

Fosavance strengthens bones through a dual-action process. Its active ingredient, alendronate, binds to the bone surface and is absorbed by bone-dissolving cells, called osteoclasts. In these cells, it blocks a vital enzyme, leading to their death. This slows bone loss, which appears to give bone-building cells, called osteoblasts, a chance to fill gaps and increase the overall density and strength of the bone structure over time.

This medication also contains vitamin D3, which, when paired with alendronate, increases intestinal absorption of dietary calcium, helping maintain stable blood mineral levels. By ensuring your body has enough circulating calcium from your diet, the vitamin D3 component supports the proper mineralization of the new bone tissue being formed.

Fosavance is intended for the maintenance of bone structure and is insufficient on its own to correct severe pre-existing vitamin D deficiency or osteomalacia. However, it seems to maintain a stable daily vitamin D balance during ongoing bisphosphonate therapy.
