In Oct. 2010, 2010, the FDA sent out a news release regarding the possible increased risk of Fosamax femur fractures, as well as atypical thigh bone fractures associated with the use of other bisphosphonate osteoporosis drugs. According to the announcement, several bisphosphonates approved for osteoporosis, including Fosamax, required labeling changes to inform patients of the possible increased femur fracture risk. This announcement followed a March 2010 drug safety communication announcing the agencyÂ’s ongoing safety review of bisphosphonates and atypical femur fractures.
Reportedly, Fosamax femur fractures are considered low-energy, meaning that they have occurred from a fall from standing height or less. In fact, some patients have claimed that Fosamax femur fractures occurred without any trauma during routine tasks such as walking across a room. The femur is among the strongest bones in the body and it typically requires tremendous force to cause a femur fracture. One theory suggests that Fosamax femur fractures are occurring because the medication interferes with bone remodeling process, causing patients to develop brittle bones.
Patients who develop Fosamax femur fractures may require costly surgical treatment or other medical care. Those who elect to pursue a Fosamax lawsuit, however, may be able to recover the cost of medical bills and other damages relating to their injuries. If you or a loved one suffered a Fosamax femur fracture while taking the drug, visit ForThePeople.com and complete the free case review form to find out if you have legal recourse. The Fosamax femur fracture lawyers at the firm are providing this case review at no cost and remain committed to protecting the rights of patients who suffered Fosamax thigh fractures.
