Fosamax class action
On March 2010, the FDA began a safety review of Fosamax to determine whether or not there is an increase in the risk of bone fractures. The agency is investigating the possible link between Fosamax and fractures that occur below the hip joint on patients who have been on bisphosphonates for several years. The investigation is still on going but the FDA suggests that for patients who are currently on bisphosphonates should continue therapy but should make sure they talk to their healthcare providers if they develop any symptoms.

Fosamax lawyer Evidence has also revealed that Fosamax can increase the risk of osteonecrosis, a serious bone disease of the jaw (ONJ). According to experts in the field, ONJ is a condition in which the bone tissue in the jaw fails to heal after minor trauma such as a tooth extraction, causing the bone to be exposed. This exposure can lead to infection, fracture, and extensive tissue death, requiring long-term antibiotic use or surgery to correct.
One study, quoted by United Press International in April 2006, found that nearly 2,500 patients taking a bisphosphonate like Fosamax, have suffered jaw-bone damage since 2001. Another 120 patients suffered incapacitating bone, muscle, or joint pain. Health experts have discovered 1,100 cases of Fosamax osteonecrosis in the past six to nine months

Fosamax Lawsuit News
A study done by Columbia University investigated 111 women taking bisphosphonates including Fosamax. Their studies demonstrated that early on in therapy patients showed marked improvement in bone structure but after long-term use bone structure diminished. Further studies conducted at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York observed 21 women who had femur fractures. Twelve of these patients who had been on bisphosphonates for over eight years demonstrated reduced bone mass as compared to the other 9 patients who did not take bisphosphonates. Additionally, the Annals of Internal Medicine reported that bisphosphonates like Fosamax behave more like a bone hardener than a bone builder. They have also observed that bone becomes brittle over time with the use of Fosamax.
