Fosamax Connected to Sudden Femur Fractures
The leading osteoporosis prescription drug Fosamax which was supposed to strengthen bones has recently been linked with sudden femur breaks in patients taking the medication.
The popular prescription drug is generally given to women who need to reduce the risk of sustaining a bone fracture and to help boost bone mass.
Nevertheless, Fosamax, a prescription medication which is actually also used to treat osteoporosis has recently been associated with a life threatening bone condition.
Fosamax is a bisphosphonate and is made by Merck. Several records have connected Fosamax with sudden femur breaks, many of which transpired in the course of low-energy activities, for example walking down steps.
Merck, the producer of the medication, has dismissed a connection between the drug and any bone injuries.

Neurological: cases of auditory hallucinations as well as visual disruptions while fairly uncommon, have been associated with alendronate as well as other bisphosphonates.
Skin rashes have been reported.
