(EMAILWIRE.COM, April 28, 2011 ) New York, NY – Fosamax users who have experienced femur fractures while taking the drug may have legal recourse to recover financial compensation. Bisphosphonates, including Fosamax, have been associated with a potential risk of femur fractures, and patients who have experienced this side effect may be able to participate in a Fosamax lawsuit. If you or a loved one has developed a Fosamax femur fracture while taking the drug, visit http://www.classaction.org/fosamax.html and fill out the free case evaluation form to find out if you may be entitled to financial compensation for your Fosamax femur fracture.
A type of bisphosphonate drug, Fosamax is prescribed to women with symptoms of osteoporosis or risk factors for developing the condition. Although the drug was intended to prevent fractures and increase bone density, long-term use of the drug may have an adverse effect on femur bones. Reportedly, the drug can harden the outer layer of bone cells and prevents these cells from being replenished through normal bone remodeling. Consequently, small fractures may develop, leading to a spontaneous Fosamax femur fracture.
Fosamax femur fractures typically occur in the long part of the thigh bone or the bone just beneath the hip joint. Reportedly, patients who have experienced Fosamax femur fractures were not partaking in any strenuous activity, and were merely standing or walking when their femur broke.
Patients who experienced Fosamax femur fractures may be able to participate in a Fosamax lawsuit to recover financial compensation. To find out if you have legal recourse, visit Class Action.org today and complete the free case evaluation form. The attorneys working with the site are providing this consultation at no cost, and remain committed to protecting the rights of patients who experienced Fosamax femur fractures.
