(EMAILWIRE.COM, June 22, 2011 ) New York, NY -- Patients who suffered Fosamax femur fractures while taking the drug may have legal recourse. Fosamax and other bisphosphonates for osteoporosis have reportedly been associated with a risk of femur fractures, and patients who experienced Fosamax fractures of the thigh bone while taking the medication may be eligible for a Fosamax lawsuit. To find out if you can file a claim for damages stemming from your Fosamax femur fractures, visit http://www.classaction.org/fosamax.html and complete the short form on the right for a no cost, no risk review of your your potential case.
Fosamax is a bisphosphonate drug prescribed to women who are experiencing osteoporosis symptoms or are at risk for developing the disease. While the drug intends to increase bone density and prevent fractures, it has been reported that long-term use of the medication may have an adverse effect on the femur bones. Allegedly, the medication hardens the outer layer of bones cells and inhibits these cells from being replaced through normal bone repair. As a result, micro-fractures can accrue, possibly resulting in a Fosamax femur fracture.
Fosamax femur fractures which have reportedly developed in users of the drug are said to occur with little trauma. Allegedly, patients who developed Fosamax thigh fractures were merely standing or walking when their femur broke. These fractures typically develop in the long part of the thigh bone or the bone just below the hip joint.
Patients who experienced Fosamax femur fractures of the thigh bone or hip may be eligible for a Fosamax lawsuit. To find out if you have legal recourse for your Fosamax fracture, visit Class Action.org and fill out the free case review form. The attorneys working with the site are offering this online consultation at no cost and remain dedicated to protecting the rights of patients who developed Fosamax femur fractures.
