Fosamax FAQs

Many people who take Fosamax have a number of questions about the drug and its link to painful conditions like osteonecrosis of the jaw. These Fosamax FAQs will address your frequently asked questions and help shed some light on a complicated and potentially dangerous situation.

Should I stop taking Fosamax, Aredia or Zometa?

You should never stop taking medication without consulting your doctor first.

Should I consult with my doctor?

Yes.  Only your doctor can decide if you are at risk for Fosamax-related side effects.  It is critical that you discuss all your options with your doctor before deciding on the best course of action.

If I used one of these drugs am I at risk for a femur fracture?

It depends.  Everyone's body responds to drugs differently, and you may be one of the people who develops a femur fracture because of Fosamax usage.  It is important that you speak to your doctor about your condition and any potential side effects of your drug regimen.

What can I do if I or my family member has a broken femur bone?

The first thing you should do is contact your doctor.  After you have secured your health, you need to talk to a Fosamax attorney.  You may be entitled to compensation for your pain and suffering, but statute of limitation laws restrict how much time you have to take action.  Contacting a lawyer sooner rather than later can help ensure that you do not suffer in vain.
