Fosamax Associated with Sudden Femur Fractures
The often prescribed osteoporosis prescription medication Fosamax that was supposed to strengthen your bones has recently been linked with sudden femur breaks in patients 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 increase bone mass.
Nevertheless, Fosamax, a prescription medicine that is also being used to treat osteoporosis has been linked to a severe bone condition.
Fosamax is a bisphosphonate and is made by Merck. Many studies have linked Fosamax to abrupt femur fractures, nearly all of which transpired in the course of low-energy activities, which include walking down steps.
Merck, the producer of the medicine, has dismissed a link between the medication and any bone injuries.
