Fosamax, also known as alendronate, is a medication used to treat bone loss. Fosamax is manufactured and sold by Merck; the same company that manufactured Vioxx.
Recently, Fosamax has been implicated in the serious necrosis of the jaw and other bones, a condition known as "osteonecrosis" (ONJ) -often referred to as "bone death."
Studies suggest a link between the use of Fosamax and osteonecrosis. This condition is associated with the interference of the blood supply to the bone and the consequential damage that occurs. Fosamax has been commonly used by cancer patients and post-menopausal women.
Many reported cases of complications occur following a dental procedure.
