Question: I have just been prescribed Fosamax for my osteoporsis. I read that this needs to be taken on an empty stomach first thing in the morning. I am also taking Pantoprazole, taking this first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. Are you able to give me any suggestions on how I should handle this? Thank you in advance.
