Can I take 50 and Alendronate together?

Why this happens

Both alcohol and alendronate can irritate the lining of the digestive tract. Alcohol can also interfere with how your body maintains bone health, potentially increasing the risk of side effects related to bone density treatments.

It is best to avoid or strictly limit alcohol while taking alendronate. To protect your food pipe, always take alendronate first thing in the morning with a full glass of plain water, stay upright for at least 30 minutes, and do not eat or drink anything else (including alcohol) during this time.
