Fosamax Connected to Sudden Femur Fractures
The often prescribed osteoporosis prescription medication Fosamax that was intended to strengthen your bones has recently been linked to sudden femur breaks in patients taking the medication.
The widely accepted prescription drug is usually prescribed to patients who need to reduce the risk of sustaining a bone fracture and to help increase bone mass.
Nevertheless, Fosamax, a prescription medicine which is also being used to treat osteoporosis has recently been linked with a life threatening bone condition.
Fosamax can be described as bisphosphonate and is made by Merck. Many accounts have connected Fosamax to sudden femur breaks, nearly all of which transpired during low-energy activities, for example walking down stairs.
Merck, the producer of the medication, has dismissed a connection between the medication and any bone injuries.
Additional serious side effects Linked to Fosamax
Ulcers within the esophagus; which may require hospitalization as well as extensive treatment.
Osteonecrosis of the Jaw - Deterioration of the Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) can occur while you are on this medication.
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.
