Fosamax Side Effects

Fosamax is an oral bisphosphonate used to prevent fractures in people who have bone weakening diseases like osteoporosis and Pagets disease. In October 2010, the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) warned that people taking Fosamax and other bisphosphonates for osteoporosis are at risk of suffering atypical femur fractures.** Just this past May, an FDA-commissioned analysis published in the New England Journal of Medicine found that there was little benefit in taking Fosamax and similar drugs for longer than five years. The report cited serious Fosamax side effects, including femur fractures and ONJ.***

The Fosamax lawsuits currently pending in New Jersey involve both femur fractures and ONJ. In a letter dated, June 4, 2012, Judge Carol Higbee, who is overseeing the Fosamax side effects litigation, stated her intention to schedule bellwether trials for cases involving Fosamax femur fractures. Discovery for Fosamax femur fracture lawsuits is moving forward.
