Insurance has switched their coverage from Actonel to Fosamax. I have been on Actonel for three years. . I did the switch to Fosamax but only took the med for three weeks. I went back to Actonel ( even though insurance wouldn't pay) because it seemed that Fosamas was more difficult to swallow (needing lots of water). I thought the Actonel tablet was coated aand the Fosamax wasn't. I'm concerned, because my sister has been on Fosamax for 7 years and is now having dental problems. She is 75 and I am 81
