Fosamax Connected with Sudden Femur Fractures
The leading osteoporosis prescription medication Fosamax that was designed to strengthen bones has been linked with sudden femur breaks in patients taking the medication.
The popular prescription drug is generally prescribed to women who need to reduce the risk of sustaining a bone fracture and to help increase bone mass.
Nonetheless, Fosamax, a prescription medication that is actually also being used to treat osteoporosis has been recently linked to a life threatening bone disease.
Fosamax can be described as bisphosphonate and is produced by Merck. Several records have linked Fosamax to sudden femur breaks, many of which transpired in the course of low-energy activities, including walking down stairs.
Merck, the maker of the drug, has dismissed a link between the medication and any bone injuries.
Additional severe side effects Linked to Fosamax

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