Buying from a pharmacy outside the U.S.? Read Is it safe to order Atelvia from Canada?

90-day cost = 12.9 tablets at the usual dose of 1 a week, bought as one order of whole packs with one shipping fee. 90-day cost is worked out from each pharmacy's real order size so different pack sizes compare fairly. Orders are kept within a 3-month supply (92 days); a pack that is larger than that is marked and not used for the lowest price at the top of this page. Prices checked Nov 12, 2026 on each pharmacy's website, in U.S. dollars. Savings compare with the U.S. list price. The lowest price at the top of this page uses only packs whose maker the pharmacy names, or whose product country and ships-from country it states. Price is the pharmacy's own price for one pack, as shown on its website (converted to U.S. dollars when it prices in Canadian dollars). Delivery is the pharmacy's own estimate for the shipping option shown, not a promise; some pharmacies count from when they receive your prescription or ship the order. Total = the packs needed + shipping. When those packs don't add up to exactly 90 days, the row shows what that order costs and, under it, what it works out to for 90 days; we sort by the 90-day amount so pack sizes compare fairly. Prices change often; confirm at checkout. “Fee not published” means the pharmacy doesn’t show its shipping fee before checkout, so that row’s total is the medicine price only.

What is Atelvia used for?

Atelvia (risedronate) is a bisphosphonate in a delayed-release tablet. According to its FDA label (DailyMed), it is used:

  • To treat osteoporosis (thinning bones) in women after menopause.

Unlike regular risedronate, Atelvia is taken right after breakfast, once a week, with at least 4 ounces of plain water, staying upright for 30 minutes. The label says it isn't for people with certain problems of the esophagus, people who can't sit or stand upright for 30 minutes, or people with low blood calcium, and that the best length of treatment isn't known, so the need for it is checked over time. Your prescriber decides which medicine is right for you.

Is it safe to order Atelvia from Canada?

Many Americans do, but U.S. law and customs rules apply, and for Atelvia, compare the U.S. price of FDA-approved generic risedronate delayed-release before you order. Federal law generally doesn't allow individuals to import prescription drugs, though under its personal importation policy the FDA has long used enforcement discretion for some personal-use shipments, generally no more than a three-month supply (FDA). Congress has said enforcement against individuals should focus on imports that pose a significant threat to public health (Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act section 804(j)(1), 21 U.S.C. 384(j)(1)). You need a prescription from your doctor. New U.S. Customs rules for mailed orders start January 20, 2027. In Canada, AbbVie sells the same 35 mg delayed-release tablet as Actonel DR, listed as marketed (Health Canada, checked 2026-11-12). In the U.S., Atelvia is sold by Allergan, part of AbbVie.
