About Fosamax®
Fosamax® is a prescription drug used to treat osteoporosis and Paget's disease. Manufactured by Merck, the drug gained FDA approval in 1995. Since its introduction, Fosamax® has been taken by nearly 10 million men and women. Fosamax® is a member of the class of drugs known as bisphosphonates. This class of drugs is designed to inhibit bone breakdown by decreasing the activity of cells that break down bones in the body.
Fosamax® Side Effects
In March 2006, the American Association of Endodontists issued a statement affirming their belief that bisphosphonates can cause osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ). ONJ is a painful, disfiguring breakdown of the jaw bone that can lead to exposed bone in the mandible or maxilla, a loss of sensation in the jaw, swelling, and infection. In addition to the permanent damage that Fosamax® can cause to jaw bone, it can also cause heartburn, chest pain, vomiting, bloody stool, fever, swelling, and difficulty breathing.
