It is often prescribed for individuals who are at high risk of bone fractures due to low bone mass. Alendronate is also used to treat Paget's disease of bone, a condition that causes bones to become weak and brittle.

Common effects of Alendronate 70 mg tablets may include mild stomach upset, heartburn, and acid reflux. Some users may experience muscle pain, joint pain, or headaches. Severe side effects are rare but can include difficulty swallowing, chest pain, or new or worsening heartburn. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and consult a healthcare provider if any adverse effects are experienced.
