Osteoporosis
"Alendronate/death

Doctor prescribed this for my 91 year old mother against my objections. My mother was in excellent health until this medication was prescribed. 

 I stated my objections several times regarding this medication.  I related recent incidences of falls and no bone breaks.  ( She had fallen several times, once off a ladder onto concrete...only bruised.  Another time slipped off step, sprained ankle.  The er doc said she had great looking bones.)Also, my mother repeatedly told the doctor she had memory/cognition issues which were documented in her chart.  The doctor insisted.

Ten days later my mother died.  She misread the directions and didn&#039;t remember the doctors directions.  She took one pill daily instead of one weekly."
