Safely Buy Fosamax Plus D ( Alendronate/Vitamin D3 ) from Canada Prescriptions Plus.

What Is Fosamax D Plus 

Fosamax D Plus is a combination medication of alendronate/cholecalciferol (vitamin D3) used to treat bone loss or osteoporosis in postmenopausal women and increases bone mass in men with osteoporosis. This medication increases bone mass and reduces the risk of having fractures like the hip or spinal fractures.  

Alendronate belongs to the bisphosphonate class; it alters the bone function and the breakdown of bones to maintain strong bones, slowing down bone loss and reducing the risk of fractures. While cholecalciferol or vitamin D3 is essential for building healthy and normal bone formation, it helps the absorption of calcium from the stomach and the functioning of the calcium in the body.
