Osteoporosis and Bone Health

Based on the 2004 Report of the Surgeon General on Bone Health and Osteoporosis, half of all women over 50 will break a bone due to osteoporosis in their remaining lifetime. So if you're over 50 and past menopause, it's important to know if you are at risk and how to help protect yourself from fracture. The fact is, your bones may not be as strong as they once were, so keeping them healthy and strong should be a priority.

How osteoporosis can affect you
Bone loss over time can lead to osteoporosis and can put you at a higher risk for fracture. Even simple everyday activities, like lifting a heavy box or opening a door, could lead to a fracture. Many women aren?t aware they have osteoporosis even when they break a bone. If you're over 50 and past menopause and break a bone, ask your doctor if it could be related to osteoporosis.

ACTONEL is a prescription medication to treat and prevent postmenopausal osteoporosis.

Important Safety Information:
You should not take ACTONEL if you are allergic to any of the ingredients, if you have low blood calcium (hypocalcemia), have kidneys that work poorly, or cannot stand or sit upright for 30 minutes. Stop taking ACTONEL and tell your doctor if you experience difficult or painful swallowing, chest pain, or severe or continuing heartburn, as these may be signs of serious upper digestive problems. Follow dosing instructions carefully to lower the chance of these events occurring.
