Author: Attorney Dennis Schaefer
Fosamax is a drug used to assist women in strengthening their bones. Typically it is prescribed for women diagnosed with osteoporosis. Women with osteoporosis are very prone to bone fractures. Fosamax is taken because the drug increase bone density. The increased bone density helps to reduce bone fractures.
However, like most things, Fosamax comes with potentially significant side effects. The evidence is not fully developed, but there exist increasing reports of serious issues. Apparently the prolonged use of Fosamax seems to be consistent with low energy bone fractures and even heart rhythm problems. The investigation goes on. It is vital to be very careful to document and provide all of your issues to your physician. The best way to guard against long term problems is very consistent documentation and open communication with your doctors.
