When I take Actonel (osteoporosis medicine) it hurts my stomach very bad and I can't eat or drink anything for 30 minutes. The pills aren't easy to take or keep down. A once monthly pill IS easier. I am only 33. I can't imagine how hard it would be to take for an elderly woman. Especially since you are to suppossed to stand up for 30 minutes after taking it.

LOL!! I totally agree. My mom says it really isn't that big of a deal to take her pill once a week. If I only had to take one a month, I would be afraid I would really forget that one.

I take four pills every day! If I didn't take them every day I would certainly forget.

Isn't that commercial ridiculous? "Set aside time for treatment once a week." Pah-leeze.
