Can Actonel Be Re-started For Heartburn And Sternum Pain?
hi dr. ihave osteo porosis i am 61 yrs old female, i was on actonel once a month for 4 years, since 4 months i was suffering for severe heart burn and sternum pain , so i stopped the actonel and the problem is solved, but can i start actonel again please reply thanks
hi risendronate or actonel as you called will cause gastritis again when u take it it is a known side effect
what i would have suggested under the circumstances and what you can do is to start a proton pump inhibitor like omeprazole 20 mg before breakfast it should help reduce the gastritis syr sucralfate in addition would be a good addition but better avoid it as far as possible
best of luck
