Fosamax Lawsuit Information: Patient Information Sheet for Fosamax
The following is a portion of the official patient information sheet for Fosamax. Osteonecrosis of the jaw is alluded to, but not mentioned by name.
Some patients may get severe digestive reactions from FOSAMAX. (See “What is the most
important information I should know about once weekly FOSAMAX?”) These reactions include irritation,
inflammation, or ulcers of the esophagus, which may sometimes bleed. This may occur especially if
patients do not drink the recommended amount of water with FOSAMAX or if they lie down in less than
30 minutes or before their first food of the day. Esophagus reactions may get worse if patients continue to
take FOSAMAX after developing symptoms of an irritated esophagus.
Stop taking FOSAMAX and call your doctor right away if you get any of these signs of possible
serious problems:
• Chest pain
• Heartburn
• Trouble or pain when swallowing
Side effects in patients taking FOSAMAX usually have been mild. They generally have not caused
patients to stop taking FOSAMAX.
The most common side effect is abdominal (stomach area) pain. Less common side effects are nausea,
vomiting, a full or bloated feeling in the stomach, constipation, diarrhea, black or bloody stools (bowel
movements), gas, headache, a changed sense of taste, and bone, muscle, and/or joint pain.
Severe bone, joint, and/or muscle pain has been reported in patients taking, by mouth, bisphosphonates
drugs that are used to treat osteoporosis (thin bones). However, such reports have been rare. This group
of drugs includes FOSAMAX. Most of the patients were postmenopausal women (women who had
stopped having periods). Patients developed pain within one day to several months after starting the
drug. Most patients experienced relief after stopping the drug. Patients who develop severe bone, joint,
and/or muscle pain after starting FOSAMAX should contact their physician. Rarely, patients may also
experience joint swelling or swelling in their hands or legs.
Transient flu-like symptoms (rarely with fever), typically at the start of treatment, have occurred.
In rare cases, patients taking FOSAMAX may get itching or eye pain, or a rash that may be made worse
by sunlight. Rarely, severe skin reactions may occur. Patients may get allergic reactions, such as hives
or, in rare cases, swelling that can be of their face, lips, tongue, or throat, which may cause trouble in
breathing or swallowing. Patients may experience dizziness. Mouth ulcers (sores) may occur if the
FOSAMAX tablet is chewed or dissolved in the mouth.
Rarely, patients have had jaw problems associated with delayed healing and infection, often following
tooth extraction. [emphasis added]
