Consumer Alert Update: FOSAMAX®
Spring 2011
Thousands of Americans have been taking the prescription drug FOSAMAX® since 1995 for treatment and prevention of osteopenia and osteoporosis. On October 13, 2010, the FDA issued a warning to physicians caring for patients taking FOSAMAX® noting that all FOSAMAX® and other bisphosphonates have been associated with atypical fractures to the femur.[1] Women are especially at high risk of suffering these fractures. [2] Patients typically require immediate surgery including placement of orthopedic hardware such as plates and screws and are subject to a very slow recovery process. Our attorneys are handling cases involving both jaw problems and femur fractures caused by FOSAMAX®.
