Fosamax is a drug that is used to prevent osteoporosis. This drug is part of a class of drugs called bisphosphonates, and is also sometimes used as an adjunct in the treatment of certain bone cancers. Unfortunately, there are dangers associated with the use of the drug. A devastating adverse effect is osteonecrosis of the jaw, a serious disorder that can lead to devastating consequences. Recent studies also found that long-term Fosamax use increased the risk of low impact fracture of the femur, which could occur in both (bilateral) or in one (unilateral) side.
If you have developed side effects such as a femur fracture or osteonecrosis of the jaw, it is in your best interest to seek legal counsel from an experienced Fosamax injury attorney. At our established Washington, D.C., law firm, your best interests are our top priority.

Fosamax and Osteonecrosis/Dead Jaw Syndrome
Osteonecrosis means "death of bone," and osteonecrosis of the jaw is a condition where pain, swelling, infection, exposure of the bone in the mouth, ulcers and the death of jawbone tissue occur. It can result in jaw disfigurement. Fosamax and all drugs in its class — known as bisphosphonates — have been linked to an increased risk of osteonecrosis of the jaw.
