A report published in The Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery on osteonecrosis of the jaw posits out that the use of bisphosphonates may negatively alter the way bone cells function to rebuild bone.\u00a0 Once used, the drug never fully leaves the system.

Despite the fact that the injury was usually caused by something as innocent as walking down the stairs. Boniva, Aredia, and Actonel are other bisphosphonates that have been linked with osteonecrosis of the jaw and bone breaks.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Food and Drug Administration officially cautioned both users and healthcare providers of the dangers associated with the drug, and as a response the packaging has been changed to reflect the risks. While only a warning has been issued so far, a Fosamax recall may be on the horizon. Hiring an experienced drug injury attorney to help navigate the legal system could be the key to receiving fair compensation for damages done by this product. If a victim is considering a Fosamax lawsuit, they may want to consult with an attorney that is knowledgeable in this type of litigation.\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It has been discovered that Fosamax side effects may include esophageal ulceration, joint pain, bone pain, osteonecrosis of the jaw, and femur fractures.
