How to Get the Most Out of These Guides
Start by picking the medication that matches your current need. Read the opening paragraph to see if the guide covers your question. If you’re unsure about dosage or side effects, scroll down to the “Practical Tips” section—those bullet points are the fastest way to grab the essentials.
When you’re considering a switch, use the “Alternatives” table. It lists other drugs, how they differ, and what to watch for. For anything that feels unclear, write down the key points and discuss them with your pharmacist or doctor. A short note like, "I read about alendronate drug holidays—does my T‑score qualify?" can make the conversation much smoother.
Finally, bookmark the page or save the PDF version (available at the bottom of each guide) for future reference. Health questions pop up unexpectedly, and having a trusted source on hand saves time and stress.
