Femur Fractures, Fosamax and Osteoporosis
The problem with any prescription drug is there are no clinical trials for long term use.
Unfortunately, in today's mega-billion profitable society, prescription drugs are prescribed for decades. One such drug is Merck’s Fosamax.
Approved in 1995 to treat osteoporosis and help prevent hip and spine fractures, Fosamax is considered a bisphosphonate drug. Fosamax is prescribed to women with signs of osteoporosis and those at high risk for developing the disease, particularly post-menopausal women.

In a recent news investigation, some women reported breaking their femur or thigh bone while doing nothing except standing or walking across the room. These women had been taking Fosamax for five to ten years.
Rather than strengthen and build bone, some women taking Fosamax for more than five years developed brittle bone, causing femur or thigh bone fractures.
Has your healthcare professional ever discussed the femur fracture risks as well as the benefits of taking Fosamax and other long term bisphosphonate drugs?
Nearly two billion patients have taken or are currently taking bisphosphonate drugs like Fosamax to deal with bone disease, and for some, Fosamax risks are beginning to outweigh the benefits.
