Reading, Pennsylvania Fosamax and Femur Fracture Lawsuits

Berks County women: Fosamax, a bisphosphonate drug, is supposed to prevent bone fractures. In a perfect world – yes – preventing bone fractures is the preferred way to go.

But what happens when something goes awry? What happens when patients who believed their doctors and took Fosamax regularly are finding that Fosamax doesn’t work anymore, or – worse – is reversing its effectiveness to cause women to fracture their thigh bones, the strongest bone in the legs.

What’s wrong with this picture? Merck, Inc., the manufacturer of Fosamax: What’s wrong with this shattered picture?

In a study performed at the Hospital for Special Surgery and an article published in The Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma in 2008, of the 20 patients who suffered femur fractures, 19 of these patients were using Fosamax for an average of 6.9 years.

Should doctors be concerned about this new evidence of Fosamax femur fractures? Has your doctor or healthcare provider had this conversation with Berks County women who are taking Fosamax long term?

What’s a post-menopausal woman to do?

Who can you trust about healthcare and prescription drugs?

If you or someone you know has been taking Fosamax for more than four years to prevent bone loss but have since suffered a femur fracture, you may be the victim of an unsafe drug; and we can help. Contact our Berks County Fosamax lawyers for a free consultation.
