Alendronate 屬於雙磷酸鹽(Bisphosphonates),主要用於治療骨質疏鬆。此類藥物對食道黏膜有強烈的腐蝕性與刺激性,若服藥後立即躺下,藥物容易滯留於食道造成潰瘍、糜爛甚至穿孔。護理指導重點在於確保藥物順利進入胃部,並減少食道接觸時間。病人必須在空腹狀態下以一大杯白開水服用,且服藥後必須保持直立姿勢(坐著或站著)至少 30 分鐘,期間不可進食或服用其他藥物。
Alendronate is a bisphosphonate used mainly for osteoporosis. It is highly corrosive and irritating to the esophageal mucosa; lying down after dosing can trap the drug in the esophagus and cause ulceration, erosion, or even perforation. Teaching emphasizes ensuring the tablet reaches the stomach and minimizing esophageal contact: the client must take it on an empty stomach with a full glass of plain water and remain upright (sitting or standing) for at least 30 minutes, without eating or taking other medications during that time.
