Fosamax Connected with Sudden Femur Fractures
The well known osteoporosis prescription medication Fosamax which was designed to strengthen your bones has been connected with sudden femur breaks in women taking the drug.
The widely accepted prescription drug is often prescribed to women who need to reduce the risk of sustaining a bone fracture and to help boost bone mass.
However, Fosamax, a prescription medicine which is also being used to treat osteoporosis has been associated with a severe bone condition.
Fosamax can be described as bisphosphonate and is made by Merck. Several accounts have connected Fosamax with unexpected femur breaks, nearly all of which transpired during low-energy activities, which include walking down steps.
Merck, the manufacturer of the drug, has dismissed a connection between the medication and any bone injuries.
