Los Angeles Fosamax Bone Fracture Attorneys

Since 2001, approximately 2,400 people using Fosamax have developed Osteonecrosis of the Jaw (ONJ). In 2004, health care professionals urged the FDA to issue a warning about Fosamax and its link to ONJ. In 2010, the FDA issued a warning against Fosamax for frequent femur fractures resulting in a labeling change. Contact the pharmaceutical litigation attorneys at Arias Sanguinetti Wang & Torrijos if you believe you have suffered injuries as a result of taking Fosamax.
