Fosamax Linked to Sudden Femur Fractures
The leading osteoporosis prescription drug Fosamax which was intended to strengthen your bones has been linked with sudden femur breaks in women taking the drug.
The popular drug is often prescribed to women who need to reduce the risk of sustaining a bone fracture and to help boost bone mass.
Nonetheless, Fosamax, a prescription medicine which is actually also used to treat osteoporosis has been connected to a severe bone disease.
Fosamax can be described as bisphosphonate and is made by Merck. Many studies have connected Fosamax to abrupt femur fractures, many of which occurred during low-energy activities, such as walking down steps.
Merck, the maker of the drug, has dismissed a link between the medication and any fractures.
Other severe and unwanted side effects Related to Fosamax
Ulcers inside the esophagus; which may require hospitalization as well as extensive therapy.

Neurological: cases of auditory hallucinations as well as visual disruptions while fairly uncommon, have been connected to alendronate and other bisphosphonates.
Skin rashes have also been reported.
