MAJOR ISSUES WITH FOSAMAX
Fosamax has been an FDA approved medication since 1995. This drug was supposed to treat osteoporosis and other bone diseases, but many patients have seen negative results.
LEG AND JAW BONE DAMAGE REPORTED IN PATIENTS USING FOSAMAX
Fosamax can contribute to osteocronosis of the jaw and also to femur breakage or fracture. The medication stays in the patient's system for too long. This causes deteriorating bone, instead of helping the conditions.
OSTEOCRONOSIS OF THE JAW
Fosamax users have reported ONJ (osteocronosis of the jaw), which causes the jaw bone to be eaten away. This is an awful condition that can be very debilitating. Some symptoms of this condition are:
- Loose teeth
- Missing gum tissue that exposes the bone
- Swelling, pain and infection of the gums
- Pus drainage from the jaw
- Numbness of the jaw
FRACTURE OF THE FEMUR BONE
The femur is the large bone in a person's thigh (the biggest bone in the body). It connects the hip to the knee and is generally a very strong bone that is resistant to large amounts of force due to its size. Some Fosamax users have reported femur fractures from everyday movements such as rising from a sitting position or just walking. The bone has been reported to snap or fracture in a horizontal direction. The makers of Fosamax do not state to patients and doctors how harmful the side effects if this drug are.
