Reading, Pennsylvania Fosamax Lawsuits and Femur Fracture Lawsuits

Are you a resident of Reading, Pa., or live in the surrounding areas? Have you or a dear family member been the victim of a Fosamax-related femur fracture?

In March 10, 2010, two studies were presented at an annual meeting of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons. In one study, researchers at Columbia University examined bone scans of 111 women, 61 of whom had been taking bisphosphonates like Fosamax for at least four years. They found that while bisphosphonates initially improved bone strength, these improvements were reversed after four years.

In yet another study, researchers at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York examined bone samples from 21 women who experienced femur fractures. They found that the women who had received long-term treatment with bisphosphonates like Fosamax had weaker bones than those who had received no bisphosphonates drugs such as Fosamax.

The women suffered the femur fractures when walking across the room or walking down the steps.

Imagine the shock of taking bisphosphonates for years to build bone and then the reversal happens. Something is terribly wrong and does the Merck, Inc., manufacturer of Fosamax, put that on the label and warn consumers?
