For the osteoporotic patient on alendronate (Fosamax), the nurse would stress that the drug requires that the patient should:
1.   take the drug after breakfast.
2.   avoid use of supplemental vitamin D.
3.   decrease fluid intake.
4.   sit or stand for 30 minutes following administration.

After taking the drug Fosamax with 8 ounces of fluid, the patient should sit or stand for 30 minutes so that the drug will be evenly distributed. The drug is taken on an empty stomach.
