"I have 4 children. They consist of a 5 year old son, a 3 year old daughter and 2 cats. Pill time has never been easy, especially for my son. Because of the ordeal, I even opted to skip a few doses on more than one occasion. However, once I heard about Fosamax I tried it. Well, I no longer have to “hunt” the kids down and force the medicine in their mouths. Thank you, Fosamax!"
