How long does Fosamax stay in your system after you stop using it?

Fosamax (alendronate) has a long half-life, and it can remain in the body for an extended period after stopping use. While the drug itself is eliminated from the bloodstream within a few days, its effects on bone density can last for several months or even years due to its action on bone remodeling. Generally, it can take about 1 to 10 years for its effects to diminish significantly, depending on individual factors such as dosage and duration of use. Always consult a healthcare professional for personalized advice.
