Bone-building drug led to stress fracture

-The People's Pharmacy

07/28/2009 - Two weeks after I suffered a thighbone fracture that had started as a hairline stress fracture, a friend alerted me to your column citing an article in The Journal of the American Medical Association (Feb. 18).

I showed it to my doctors, and we all agreed that my fracture was caused by long-term use (12 years) of Fosamax. My surgeon said this was the strangest fracture he had ever seen; that the femur looked normal, but it had broken in a location and at an angle that was extremely odd.

There is no warning on the Fosamax label of such a possible side effect. I think it is important for women taking osteoporosis drugs to get more information about side effects. My surgeon is seriously considering doing a hip replacement at the first sign of another hairline fracture.

When an article was published in the New England Journal of Medicine (March 20, 2008) suggesting that drugs intended to strengthen bones might cause fractures instead, it created quite a stir. The controversy rages on, and experts still are arguing about the risk.

Some scientists speculate that long-term use of drugs like Actonel, Boniva, Fosamax and Reclast might suppress bone turnover and could lead to brittle bones and stress fractures. Anyone on such medications who experiences thigh pain should be evaluated.

We discuss this issue in greater detail in our new Guide to Osteoporosis, which also covers other options for treatment. Anyone who would like a copy, please send $3 in check or money order with a long (No. 10), stamped (61 cents), self-addressed envelope to Graedons' People's Pharmacy, No. U-92, P.O.

Although most cases of osteonecrosis of the jaw related to Fosamax side effects have occurred after dental work several cases have been reported to occur without any prior dental work. If you are currently taking Fosamax you may be at risk of developing osteonecrosis. If you have been injured by Fosamax side effects you may be entitled to compensation.
