Fosamax Associated with Sudden Femur Fractures
The often prescribed osteoporosis prescription medication Fosamax which was supposed to strengthen bones has been connected with sudden femur breaks in women taking the medication.
The widely used drug is usually given to women who need to reduce the risk of sustaining a bone fracture and to help boost bone mass.
However, Fosamax, a prescription medication which is also being used to treat osteoporosis has been recently connected with a life threatening bone condition.
Fosamax can be described as bisphosphonate and is manufactured by Merck. Many reports have connected Fosamax to abrupt femur breaks, the majority of which happened in the course of low-energy activities, such as walking down steps.
Merck, the manufacturer of the medication, has denied a link between the medicine and any bone injuries.
Other severe and unwanted side effects Associated with Fosamax
Ulcers inside the esophagus; which may require hospitalization as well as extensive treatment.
Osteonecrosis of the Jaw - Deterioration of the Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) may occur while you are on this medicine.
Neurological: cases of auditory hallucinations and visual disturbances while fairly uncommon, have been associated with alendronate as well as other bisphosphonates.
Skin breakouts have been reported.
