Brief Answer:
It is worth taking this medication!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks so much for the query,

I know, looking at the possible side effects of Alendronic acid, it is easier to get scared and abandon this medication. The good news is that only a few persons actually do get to develop a few of these listed symptoms. Furthermore, the benefits on the general scale are a lot more than the potential side effects. It is mostly beneficial, this drug.

In all, taking this drug has more benefits than any potential side effects.

I hope this helps. I wish you well.
Feel free to follow up with me if need be.

Regards
