New England Journal of Medicine recently published a study affirming Fosamax's tendency to cause sudden, low-energy femur fracture to long-time users of the biphosphonate drug, a revelation affecting many osteoporosis patients which concerns the doctors treating them. The medical world was divided relating to the Fosamax study recently published. Some of the doctor's took account the good benefits provided by the biphosphonate drug Fosamax, others were not as lenient. Dr. Kenneth Egol, an orthopedic surgery professor hailing from New York University, examined radiographic results of patients claiming they got the fracture injury due to Fosamax drug use. Women at risk for osteoporosis who has low body mass indexes, has history of falls, and is known to have smoking and drinking alcohol habits are currently not passable for Fosamax use. “If a person is diagnosed with osteoporosis and it’s decided they should be treated with bisphosphonates, they should try the medications.“ shared by Dr. Ken Lyles of Duke University on his thoughts in light of the study recently published. An investigation was conducted by the American Society of Bone and Mineral Research task force involving 310 allegations regarding Fosamax's connection with femur fracture injuries endured by osteoporosis patients under the biphosphonate drug treatment. It was found that 94% of the patients who reported was taking Fosamax at that time. Dr. Elizabeth Shane from Columbia University shared her thoughts on Fosamax study: “Based on the report, we now feel that there is a definitive relationship between [this] class of drugs and these fractures, and it’s even stronger in those taking those drugs for a long time.” The doctors has decided to recommend a break from Fosamax use for those osteoporosis patients who were taking the drug for a long time. If you or a loved one suffered from any of the given Fosamax side effects, or if you experienced atypical, low-impact femur fracture caused by Fosamax use, know that you can fight for your rights, and can claim just compensation by setting your Fosamax fracture lawsuit.
