Fosamax (Alendronate) Lawyer

Fosamax, a popular osteoporosis medication manufactured by drug giant Merck, has been linked to an array of serious side effects. In fact, a new report says there is a clear association between a severe, rare form of thigh-bone fracture and Fosamax and other bisphosphonates (such as Actonel and Boniva). Fosamax patients who experience adverse reactions may be entitled to compensation for their suffering.

Thigh-bone Fractures

A recent American Society of Bone and Mineral task force investigated reports on 310 osteoporosis patients who reported a rare form of femur fracture. The study found that 94 percent of patients had been taking Fosamax or other bisphosphates.

Dr. Elizabeth Shane, a professor of medicine at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, told ABC News that, “Based on the report we now feel that there is a definitive relationship between these class of drugs and these fractures, and it’s even stronger in those taking those drugs for a long time.”

Fosamax Lawsuits

It’s not uncommon for pharmaceuticals to be associated with adverse effects or serious side effects. However, drug manufacturers and sellers have certain responsibilities to the public, including:

  • Exercising reasonable care in drug development, manufacturing, inspection, and labeling.
  • Informing the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the public of any side effects.
  • Advertising in a truthful and non-misleading way.

As a consumer and patient, you have the right to trust that your medication is safe. This is not always the case. When a pharmaceutical company acts negligently, its actions can result in serious side effects. Victims however, may have a remedy by bringing a product liability claim against the drug’s maker.

Should you elect to contact the Maher Law Firm, please have the following information ready for your consultation:

  • Prescription records
  • Medical records
  • Diagnosis records of any Fosamax side effects
