Charleston, IL Fosamax Attorneys
Fighting for Patients in Central & Southern Illinois Since 1996
Fosamax (alendronic acid) is a drug prominently prescribed to post-menopausal women and men with osteoporosis, a condition in which the bones become thin, weak, and break easily. It is also prescribed to treat osteoporosis in men and women taking corticosteroids, a type of medication that can cause osteoporosis, and to treat Paget's disease, a condition in which the bones are soft, weak, and may be deformed.

Our Charleston, IL Fosamax injury lawyers have extensive experience litigating cases involving dangerous drugs and medical devices, and we are prepared to see how we can fight for you.

Side Effects Caused by Fosamax
Recent medical studies have associated Fosamax with fractures of the femur, the large bone in the thigh. These fractures occur in the bone just below the hip joint and can be extremely painful.
Recent medical studies have also associated Fosamax with a condition known as osteonecrosis of the jaw, or ONJ. ONJ occurs when the bone in the jaw dies or does not heal. It can result in soft tissue swelling, pain, infection, loose teeth, and exposed bones.
Fosamax and other bisphosphonate drugs have also been related to such medical conditions as:
- Esophageal cancer
- Atrial fibrillation
- Severe musculoskeletal pain
