Fosamax ® (generic name - Alendronate) is a type of drug known as bisphosphonates. Recently a link has been found between bisphosphonates and a serious bone disease called osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ). This important discovery clearly shows that Fosamax ® side effects may include osteonecrosis of the jaw.
The discovery, published in the Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons, prompted both the US, Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Novartis, the manufacturer of bisphosphonates used in cancer chemotherapy, to issue a warning to health care professionals on September 24, 2004. The warning letter contained information about bisphosphonates and the side effects risks of osteonecrosis in the jaw.
Bisphosphonates are commonly used in
tablet form such as Fosamax ® (Alendronate Sodium) to prevent and treat osteoporosis in
post-menopausal women. Stronger forms of bisphosphonates are commonly used in
the management of advanced cancers that have metastasized to the bone, where the
disease often causes bone pain and possibly even fractures. Several cancers can
involve or metastasize to the bone, including lung cancer, breast cancer,
prostate cancer, multiple myeloma, and others. When bisphosphonates are given in
cancer chemotherapy, the drugs are given intravenously, and usually for
longer periods of time.
If you have been injured by Fosamax ® side effects you may be entitled to compensation.

Osteoporosis, which means "porous bones," causes bones to become weak and
brittle —
so brittle that even mild stresses like bending over, lifting a vacuum
cleaner or coughing can
cause a fracture. In most cases, bones weaken when you
have low levels of calcium,
phosphorus and other minerals in your bones.
Osteoporosis can also accompany
endocrine disorders or result from excessive use
of drugs such as corticosteroids.
A common result of osteoporosis is fractures — most of them in the spine, hip
or wrist.
Although it's often thought of as a women's disease, osteoporosis also
affects a significant
number of men. And compared with the number of women and
men who have osteoporosis,
many more have low bone density. Even children aren't
immune. Yet it's never too late — or too early —
to do something about
osteoporosis. Everyone can take steps to keep bones strong and healthy
throughout life.
