Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A) "I cannot lie down for at least 30 minutes after taking the prescription." - This is correct, as taking Fosamax while lying down can increase the risk of side effects.
C) "I should call my healthcare provider if I experience heartburn." - This is correct, as heartburn can be a side effect of Fosamax and may need to be addressed by a healthcare provider.
D) "I must take this with a full glass of water." - This is correct, as Fosamax should be taken with a full glass of water and not any other type of liquid, such as milk. 
B and E are incorrect. Milk should not be taken with Fosamax as it may interfere with its absorption, and while Fosamax can be taken with or without food, it should not be taken with calcium supplements or antacids.
