Fosamax Connected to Sudden Femur Fractures
The often prescribed osteoporosis prescription medication Fosamax that was intended to strengthen your bones has recently been connected with sudden femur breaks in women taking the medication.
The widely used prescription drug is often given to patients who need to reduce the risk of sustaining a bone fracture and to help boost bone mass.
Nonetheless, Fosamax, a prescription medication that is actually also used to treat osteoporosis has been linked to a severe bone condition.
Fosamax can be described as bisphosphonate and is made by Merck. Several accounts have connected Fosamax with abrupt femur fractures, nearly all of which occurred in the course of low-energy activities, including walking down steps.
Merck, the maker of the drug, has denied a connection between the medication and any bone injuries.

Neurological: cases of auditory hallucinations and visual disruptions while fairly rare, have been connected to alendronate along with other bisphosphonates.
