Femur Fractures from Fosamax and Ohio Unsafe Drug Lawsuits

Unsafe Drugs

Attention Ohio residents: If you or your loved one has been taking the osteoporosis drug Fosamax for more than four years, you may be at risk for suffering a catastrophic femur fracture.

Fosamax is in a class of drugs called bisphosphonate which slows down the dead bone cells that soften the bone.

One bewildering side effect is femur fractures, which occur when you fall from a standing height or less or simply by walking across a room. Studies have now concluded that some women and men who have been taking Fosamax long term may be candidates for brittle bones and femur fractures. The femur is the long vertical bone just below your hip.

Other serious Fosamax side effects that are of major concern include jawbone death or osteonecrosis. Another serious side effect is esophageal cancer. And yet another could be developing atrial fibrillation or chronic irregular heartbeat.

Fosamax is not without serious concerns. Has your healthcare provider updated you on the possible serious side effects?

If you are an Ohio resident and either you or a loved one has suffered a spontaneous femur fracture caused by using Fosamax for too many years, you may be appropriately eligible for an unsafe drug lawsuit.
