Alendronate, Risedronate Mnemonic for Nursing Pharmacology (NCLEX)

Bisphosphonates are medications that end in “-dronate”, like alendronate and risedronate. These drugs are used to treat osteoporosis by reducing bone loss. If taken over the long term, bisphosphonates can cause the severe side effect of jaw necrosis. Another side effect to know is esophagitis, which can be prevented by taking the medication first thing in the morning on an empty stomach, with plenty of water, and remaining upright for 30 minutes after taking the pill.
