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.
If you or a loved one has suffered the dangerous side
effects of Fosamax, please contact
us for a fee legal evaluation of your claim.
