Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A) Etidronate (Didronel) should be taken in the morning with water. 
E) Intake of any food or drink (except water) should be avoided for 30 minutes after taking the medication to ensure proper absorption. Milk or other dairy products should not be taken with etidronate as they can interfere with absorption. Fluoride levels do not need to be assessed annually unless specifically indicated for the patient. Administering the medication after meals is not necessary, as long as the patient waits 30 minutes before eating or drinking anything other than water.
