The Bone Loss Prevention Drug That Actually Destroys Bone
Alendronate sodium is a bisphosphonate drug manufactured by Merck & Co. Inc. and marketed under the name Fosamax. It was widely prescribed for postmenopausal women as a way to prevent bone loss and osteoporosis.
Tragically, a number of long-term Fosamax users experienced severe bone loss as a direct result of taking the drug. The most prevalent conditions were osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) and low-impact fractures to the femur. In these cases, Fosamax had the exact opposite effect than the drug promised to deliver. If Merck had been more diligent in its research and testing of the drug these issues would have become apparent, and the injuries to the victims could have been avoided.
