Illinois FOSAMAX® Side Effects Attorneys – Gary D. McCallister & Associates, LLC

FOSAMAX®, released by Merck & Co., is used to treat osteoporosis and other conditions that cause patients to lose bone mass. However, it has recently been linked to harmful side effects in many patients, causing bone death instead. Those who have suffered from painful FOSAMAX® side effects are not without options. Because the manufacturer did not warn patients of these side effects, victims may be able to file a lawsuit against Merck & Co. in order to gain compensation for their suffering. At Gary D. McCallister & Associates, LLC in Chicago, Illinois, victims of FOSAMAX® side effects can consult our attorneys to determine the best legal strategy to pursue. Our lawyers have extensive experience in legal matters like these and are committed to protecting our clients’ rights.

Information on FOSAMAX® Side Effects

FOSAMAX® can produce many side effects, including gastrointestinal disorders like nausea, diarrhea, flatulence, abdominal cramping, and ulceration of the esophagus. Patients may also experience skin disorders, eye problems, and pain in the muscles and bones. The most damaging side effect reported, however, is osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ). This refers to the death of parts of the jawbone, which can be extremely painful. Eventually, ONJ can lead to loosened teeth, loss of sensation in the jaw, infections, exposed bone, and even collapse of the joint and loss of jaw function. In many cases, the damage is irreversible. Patients in Illinois who have experienced FOSAMAX® side effects can contact our attorneys to learn about their legal options if they have suffered because of the manufacturer’s negligence.
