Generic Fosamax is a medication known as alendronate, which belongs to a class of drugs called bisphosphonates. It is used to treat osteoporosis in postmenopausal women and men at increased risk of fractures. Osteoporosis is a condition where bones become weak and brittle, often leading to fractures. Alendronate works by slowing down the process of bone loss, increasing bone density, and reducing the risk of fractures. It is typically taken orally as a tablet. Generic versions of Fosamax contain the same active ingredient (alendronate) as the brand-name medication but are usually less expensive.
