PubMed indexes 8 records that name Alendronate and Vitamin D3 together, either in the title or in an interaction, co-administration, or pharmacokinetic context. Each one is listed below with its study design and, where the abstract states one, the authors’ own conclusion, quoted and linked. This page reports that literature. It does not tell you whether to combine them.
Every statement below is attributed to a named, dated, linked source.
This page lists published research relevant to Alendronate and Vitamin D3. It deliberately does not state whether the combination is safe, whether it interacts, in which direction, at what dose, or how far apart to take them.
Strongest relevance first: papers naming both substances in the title, then human trials and systematic reviews.
“The patient exhibited a favourable response to oral alendronate sodium plus vitamin D3 combination treatment. We believe that alendronate sodium is an effective second-line drug for CNO.”
Names both Alendronate and Vitamin D3 in its title.
“Alendronate 70 mg with calcifediol gives a better outcome in the treatment of osteoporosis according to lumbar T-score and vitamin D serum level observed at one-year follow-up compared to alendronate 70 mg with cholecalciferol. Both vitamin D formulations did not show to cause hypercalcemia in this study. Alendronate 70 mg in drinkable solution form is also associated with lowest incidence of gastrointestinal adverse reactions.”
Names both Alendronate and Vitamin D3 in its title.
“ALN/D5600 produced greater increases in lumbar spine BMD and greater decreases in bone turnover markers versus calcitriol in osteoporotic Chinese women. It is not known whether the greater increase in BMD results in fewer fractures. ALN/D5600 was generally well tolerated in Chinese patients.”
Names both Alendronate and Vitamin D3 in its title.
“Alendronate therapy in heart transplant recipients was associated with a significant increase in bone mineral density in the lumbar spine and less bone loss at the hip.”
Names both Alendronate and Vitamin D3 in its title.
Names both Alendronate and Vitamin D3 in its title.
“In osteoporosis patients who avoided sunlight and vitamin D supplements, this once-weekly tablet containing alendronate and cholecalciferol provided equivalent antiresorptive efficacy, reduced the risk of low serum 25OHD, improved vitamin D status over 15 weeks, and was not associated with hypercalcemia, hypercalciuria or other adverse findings, versus alendronate alone.”
Names both Alendronate and Vitamin D3 in its title.
“In our study calcifediol showed to be as safe as cholecalciferol and more effective than cholecalciferol in order to increase vitamin D serum level after four and 12 months of supplementation when supplementation is combined with alendronate 70 mg in osteoporotic women.”
Names both Alendronate and Vitamin D3 in its title.
“Systemic vitamin D3 may accelerate OTM and increase histologic biomarkers of bone turnover. ALN reduces OTM and its histologic biomarkers. Systemic vitamin D3 can reverse this inhibitory effect of ALN on OTM back to normal.”
Names both Alendronate and Vitamin D3 in its title.
Search-based evidence indexes have real limits, and it is worth being explicit about them:
NutriStack is a free iPhone app for organising a supplement routine: what you take, when, and what the published record says about it. Its exploratory interaction checker covers Alendronate, Vitamin D3, and several hundred other substances.
The checker is a research and organisation tool, not a clinical decision aid, and its per-pair assessments are excluded from search until they pass claim-level review.
NutriStack is an informational and organizational tool, not a medical service, and not a substitute for professional advice. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional before starting, stopping, or changing any supplement or medication.
