Americans rely on their prescription medications to be safe and effective, and when that trust is broken, millions of consumers can be put at risk. Luckily for these victims, the law provides protection against defective drugs such as the osteoporosis medications Fosamax, Aredia, and Zometa.
Fosamax is one of the oral bisphosphonate medications used to protect bones that are weakened by osteoporosis and Paget's disease. Over 10 million patients have used Fosamax in search of relief from these conditions, only to find out that they may be at heightened risk for a destructive disorder in the mouth called Osteonecrosis of the Jaw (ONJ) or Dead Jaw Syndrome.
ONJ impedes the jawbone's ability to heal after surgery, and can even cause it to rot and die. Research indicates a link between ONJ and Fosamax, and those at risk are outraged that they weren't informed of the dangers earlier. Merck, the powerful pharmaceutical company who makes Fosamax, is under fire for this failure to inform consumers about the potentially devastating side effects of the drug.
Fosamax legal help for victims and families ensures that those suffering from drug-related complications like ONJ due to the medication have a voice. Defective drug attorneys are highly experienced in these types of cases and can help those injured by Fosamax fight for the financial compensation that they are entitled to.
If you have developed ONJ because of your Fosamax usage, don't wait for statutes of limitations to expire before you take a stand against negligent drug makers. You deserve the truth about your medications and you deserve financial compensation when your health is jeopardized. Make sure that you talk with an understanding and knowledgeable defective drug attorney today.
