The bisphosphonate drug Fosamax made by Merck, which was also marketed under names including Actonel, Zometa, and Aredia, has been prescribed to patients since its approval by the Food and Drug Administration in 1995 to treat men with decreased bone mass, women having experienced menopause and suffer from osteoporosis, and individuals who have specific types of cancers, including bone, prostate, lung, and breast cancers.

The medication has also been prescribed to patients to prevent osteoporosis in order to lessen the possibility of bone fractures.

In November 2005, the labeling of Fosamax has been changed to include information regarding serious side effects and health risks associated with the drug, which include Osteonecrosis of the jaw. This rare disorder destroys bone tissue and causes severe pain in the mouth, often resulting in swelling, tooth loosening, oral infections, and exposed bones in the mouth.

Advanced cases of Osteonecrosis (also called jaw bone death and jaw Osteonecrosis) may require reconstruction surgery.

If you have taken, or are currently taking Fosamax, and have suffered due to Osteonecrosis, seek medical attention immediately, then contact a Missouri Fosamax side effects lawyer at Page || Cagle right away.
