Fosamax side effects

Osteonecrosis may occur after tooth extraction or other dental procedures. More recently, Fosamax has been linked to femur fractures, or thighbone fractures. A femur fracture link to Fosamax has been reported in the Journal of Orthopedic Trauma. Furthermore, a Cornell University study found a connection between Fosamax and thighbone fractures.

Other Fosamax side effects include a heightened risk of esophageal cancer and gastrointestinal tract problems.
