Fosamax Connected with Sudden Femur Fractures
The leading osteoporosis prescription medication Fosamax which was designed to strengthen your bones has been associated with sudden femur breaks in patients taking the drug.
The widely used prescription drug is generally given to patients who need to reduce the risk of sustaining a bone fracture and to help increase bone mass quickly.
Nevertheless, Fosamax, a prescription medicine that is also used to treat osteoporosis has been associated with a serious bone condition.
Fosamax can be described as bisphosphonate and is manufactured by Merck. Many accounts have linked Fosamax with unexpected femur fractures, nearly all of which happened during low-energy activities, like walking down steps.
Merck, the manufacturer of the drug, has denied a connection between the drug and any bone injuries.
Additional severe side effects Regarding Fosamax

Osteonecrosis of the Jaw - Deterioration of the Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) may occur while you're on this medication.
Neurological: cases of auditory hallucinations and visual disturbances while fairly uncommon, have been associated with alendronate and other bisphosphonates.
Skin breakouts have also been reported.
