Have You Sustained Personal Injuries from Fosamax, other Medications, Pharmaceuticals, or Chemical Exposure?
Fosamax side effects cautioned by the FDA include a serious condition called osteoneocrosis of the jaw, also known as dead jaw. Fosamax (alendronate) is commonly used for the treatment of osteoporosis in post-menopausal women and advanced stage cancer patients whose condition has metastasized to the bone.
Findings regarding serious Fosamax side effects have prompted the American Association of Endodonists to issue a warning to dentists regarding patients taking the medication and the potential risk for osteoneocrosis.
Osteonecrosis is one of the most serious Fosamax side effects linked to this drug. Osteonecrosis is characterized by the inability of the jaw to heal following dental trauma or surgery, which can cause the jawbone tissue to become infected, rot and eventually die. Osteonecrosis and other Fosamax side effects may cause the jawbone to fracture or break easily. Patients who are taking this medication should refrain from undergoing dental surgical procedures to avoid the possible dangerous Fosamax side effects.
The serious risks found with Fosamax and other bisphosphonates prompted the FDA to issue a formal warning to healthcare providers on September 24, 2004. A study was also published in the Journal of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeons highlighting evidence establishing the relationship between Fosamax and osteonecrosis. According to the National Osteonecrosis Foundation, approximately 20,000 Americans are diagnosed with osteonecrosis every year.
If you have suffered an unfavorable reaction to Fosamax, then you should speak with a Personal Injury attorney about taking legal action against those who are responsible.
