The Connecticut law firm, Jonathan Perkins Injury Lawyers, is seeking women who have been injured after taking the prescription drug Fosamax. Fosamax is a type of bisphosphonate that is prescribed to osteoporosis patients. Patients taking Fosamax are at risk for femur fractures. To learn more about Fosamax injury claims, please visit

The purpose of Fosamax is to strengthen an osteoporosis patient’s bones, yet some patients are experiencing the opposite effect. Many osteoporosis patients are sustaining spontaneous femur (thigh bone) fractures after doing common everyday activities, such as walking down a flight of stairs or doing low-energy exercise. In 2010, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced that they would require pharmaceutical companies to include warnings on their labels stating that there is a link between bisphosphonate-use and
atypical femur fractures. The following year, The Journal of the American Medical Association published an article which found that patients who took bisphosphonates for five years or longer were at increased risk for thigh bone fractures.
Connecticut women who have suffered from a
Fosamax injury may be eligible to file a dangerous drug lawsuit. Jonathan Perkins Injury Lawyers is offering a free case review for patients that believe that they have a Fosamax injury case. To learn more about Connecticut Fosamax lawsuits, please visit www.800perkins.com.
