Fosamax Lawsuit May Be an Option for Users Suffering Femur Fractures

A Fosamax lawsuit may be an option for osteoporosis patients who took the drug and suffered from a femur fracture. Potentially, a Fosamax lawsuit could allow these individuals an opportunity to seek compensation for lost wages, medical expenses and other damages stemming from their femur fracture. To find out if a Fosamax lawsuit is an option for you, visit http://www.classaction.org/fosamax.html to receive a free, no risk review of your Fosamax femur fracture claim. 

A Fosamax lawsuit may be possible for users of the drug who suffered from femur fractures, as it has been reported that long-term use of the medicine may be associated with a risk of unusual thigh bone fractures. The femur is one of the strongest bones in the body, and to break it, a great force, such as that exerted upon car accident victims, is typically required. Users who reportedly suffered Fosamax femur fractures, however, were said to only have been engaging in simple activities, such as walking up stairs or performing low-energy exercise. 

Fosamax and other bisphosphonate drugs build bone density and prevent fractures in osteoporosis patients and those at risk for developing the condition. However, it has been alleged that long-term use of the drug can have an adverse impact on the femur bones. Allegedly, Fosamax can harden the bone’s outer layer of cells, preventing them from being replenished through normal bone remodeling. As a result, tiny fractures can accumulate, causing a spontaneous femur fracture. 

Patients who allegedly suffered from Fosamax femur fractures while taking the drug may have legal recourse to file a claim seeking compensation for damages.
