FOSAMAX SIDE EFFECTS
A connection between bisphosphonates such as Fosamax, and Osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) was discovered in 2004. The findings were published in the Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons and showed the side effects of Fosamax may include ONJ, a condition commonly called “jaw death.”
Fosamax, used by nearly 10 million men and women to help prevent or treat bone loss or osteoporosis, has allegedly been linked to 2,400 incidents of jaw death, jaw bone decay or Osteonecrosis of the jaw since 2001. An additional 120 people taking these drugs in pill form have claimed to have such debilitating pain that they have become bedridden or in need of walkers, crutches or wheelchairs. Moreover, as much as 90 percent of drug side effects may never have been reported to the Food and Drug Administration, meaning the total number of people suffering from ailments because of Fosamax may be much higher.
