Can I take Alendronic acid and Losartan together?

Why this happens

Alendronic acid is a bisphosphonate used for bone strength, and losartan is an ARB used for blood pressure. They work through entirely different pathways in the body and do not interfere with how the other is absorbed, broken down, or removed from the system.

You can safely take both medications, but you must follow the specific timing rules for alendronic acid. Take your alendronic acid first thing in the morning with a full glass of plain water, at least 30 minutes before any food, drink, or other medicines (including your losartan). Stay upright for at least 30 minutes after taking alendronic acid to prevent irritation to your food pipe.
