This drug is used and prescribed to treat osteoporosis, and is actually one of the most popular osteoporosis drugs on the market. The medication is supposed to strengthen your bones and slow down bone loss. However, medical experts and extensive research have shown that long term use can significantly increase, as much as triple, your chances of a broken femur (thigh bone). Since the medication can weaken your bone, it doesn't take too much stress on the bone before you have a fracture.

The FDA has already asked the manufacturer to provide more adequate warnings and information regarding the complications that are occurring with the use of this drug. If you are currently taking Fosamax, please consult your doctor as well contacting us by using the form on the right or calling 1-888-735-9860.

Studies have shown evidence that Fosamax has been linked to low impact femur fractures. The Journal of Orthopedic Trauma noted that those prescribed the drug were suffering a high rate of abnormal breaks in the thigh bone after falls from standing height or less. These femur fractures are occurring in situations that typically would not result in serious bone damage.
