Did You Know Fosamax can Break One of the Strongest Bones in Your Body? NY Lawyer Matthew McCauley

Описание: http://www.yourlawyer.com/topics/over...

For those suffering from bone density problems, bisphosphonate medication such as Fosamax and Actonel is often prescribed as treatment. The drug is helped to prevent the breakage and weakening of a patient's bones.

However, recent studies are beginning to show that overexposure to the drugs (such as patient's taking them regularly for years) has led to cause severe injuries to patients. Victims have been experiencing atypical femur fractures as a result of low energy accidents, such as simple slip and falls.

An atypical femur fracture means that the fracture occurs in an unusual way, such as from low energy accidents. Women have reported these fractures occurring during basic daily activities like walking to the mailbox or getting out of their car. The femur bone, located in your thigh, is extremely strong. Along with that, the strongest area of the femur known as the subtrochanteric area can be affected by the drug. So not only do you have a strong bone, you have the strongest part of that bone at risk for fracture. It is usually only fractured by severe high energy events like car or skiing accidents or high falls. To suffer a break from such a small event as walking down the driveway is extremely rare and with exposure to drugs like Fosamax, these fractures can be very severe and come with no warning.
