Fosamax is used by millions of Americans to treat osteoporosis, or bone loss, in men and women. The active ingredient in Fosamax is a drug known as Alendronate which belongs to a class of pharmaceuticals known as bisphosphonates and has been approved by the FDA to treat bone loss and thinning since 1995. They were first used to strengthen bones in women who are losing bone density, usually due to menopause and aging. More recently, Fosamax and other bisphosphonates have been used to treat osteoporosis in both men and women caused by any number of conditions.
However, reports of Fosamax and Osteonecrosis of the Jaw side effects began to surface shortly after the FDA expanded its Fosamax approval to include men. Some of the more common Fosamax side effects include upset stomach, nausea, abdominal cramps, diarrhea, excessive flatulence, or severe constipation. There are also reports of severe esophageal trauma and ulceration that can require extensive hospitalization to repair.
