Will Damaging Evidence Force Merck To Settle Fosamax Lawsuits?

    SAUSALITO, CA, January 12, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Merck & Co's osteoporosis drug, Fosamax, has been linked to numerous side effects. Will new and damaging evidence force Merck to settle Fosamax lawsuits? Many Fosamax injury lawyers think so. If you've been injured by Fosamax or another bisphosphonate drug such as Fosamax Plus D, Actonel, Actonel with Calcium, Boniva, Atelvia, Reclast or a generic bisphosphonate product, you owe it to yourself to find out more about what the latest study says about Fosamax and determine whether you might be entitled to compensation.

Study Reveals More Fosamax Injuries

A recent study from the American Society of Bone & Mineral Research revealed that 94% of osteoporosis patients who suffered a rare femur fracture had been taking bisphosponate drugs. In many of the cases, fractures occurred while doing the simplest of tasks such as walking up stairs. This study, which caused the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) to further strengthen warnings on bisphosphonate drugs, is only the latest in a long string of studies which allege:

bone density loss
femur fractures
esophageal cancer
osteocronosis of the jaw (jaw bone death)

Fosamax injury attorneys say that the overwhelming evidence about the dangers of Fosamax, coupled with more and more doctors urging women to take "drug holidays" in order to reduce their risks of suffering from these dangerous Fosamax side effects, may cause pharmaceutical giant Merck & Company to settle the thousands of Fosamax injury lawsuits currently pending in courts throughout the nation - as well as the new lawsuits being filed every day.

You May Be Entitled To Compensation

If you've been injured by Fosamax or another dangerous bisphosphonate drug, make sure you receive the compensation for which you're entitled. A Fosamax lawyer can review your situation and determine whether filing a Fosamax lawsuit might be in your best interests.
