When my doctor first presented Fosamax as an option to treat osteopenia/osteoporosis, it sounded like a drug to avoid. Nearly 20 years later, there is plenty of evidence that Fosamax and other bisphosphonates can lead to weaker bones, can damage the esophagus, and can lead to jaw necrosis. Even the injected form of the drug can cause major side effects, and then if it is a once-a-year shot, how do you get it out of your system?
