subject: Unexpected Fosamax Side Effects Have Increased The Pain Of Osteoporosis Patients In Some Cases [print this page] The diagnosis of osteoporosis is something that can be devastating to an individual and their family. The condition is one that typically gets progressively worse, often making the painful symptoms unbearable. Anyone with osteoporosis must undergo ongoing treatment and take medication if there's any hope of lessening the pain they're experiencing. There's also a greater risk of bone fractures and similar injuries with osteoporosis that can lead to even more serious medical problems. It's for this reason that the medication Fosamax was so highly sought after by patients with osteoporosis.
Fosamax was intended to be a drug that would reduce the chances of those bone injuries in osteoporosis patients by increasing their bone mass. The hope was that it would strengthen the bones and lessen the likelihood of fractures. But research revealed that the drug wasn't nearly as effective at achieving that goal and in actuality, in some cases the Fosamax side effects caused these injuries to happen more frequently. That was a very shocking revelation to patients who had used Fosamax and something they believe the makers of the drug should be held accountable for.
These patients could have been treating their osteoporosis using another medication. At the very least, they could have weighed the potential risks had they been informed of the potential Fosamax side effects but they weren't given that opportunity and many are suffering greatly as a result. Now many former patients are turning to a Fosamax attorney to explore their legal options.
