Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Alendronate (Fosamax) is used to treat and prevent osteoporosis in postmenopausal women, to treat osteoporosis in men, to treat and prevent glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis in men and women, and to treat Paget's disease of bone. However, it is not directly used to treat fractures that result from osteoporosis; instead, it helps prevent bone loss and increases bone mass, which can prevent fractures.
