Fosamax
Fosamax Injuries Demand an Experienced Injury Attorney
Fosamax (alendronate) is used to treat osteoporosis and Paget's Disease. It slows down the process of bone breakdown in the human body, while increasing the mass of the bone. It also alters the cycle of bone formation, allowing for bone strengthening over long periods of time. Bisphophosphates, such as Fosamax, are also beneficial in reducing bone pain from breast cancer and multiple myeloma.
Fosamax Side Effects
Fosamax has been linked to an increased risk of femur fracture. The femur, also known as the thigh bone, is crucial in both walking and jumping. People using Fosamax have reported femur fractures while participating in normal activities. Fosamax affects the femur by interfering with the natural bone remodeling process, leading to the development of brittle bones. This allows for easier breaks that are both spontaneous and unusual.
This bisphosphonate drug has been linked to osteonecrosis of the jaw ("dead jaw" or "jaw death"). Osteonecrosis is a severe form of bone damage in the jaw where the bone tissue does not heal after minor traumas. In dental procedures, patients are at risk when they take Fosamax. Most cases occur after tooth extraction and other dental procedures.
