Fosamax: a Treatment for Osteoporosis

Fosamax is prescribed primarly for the treatment of Osteoporosis.

Osteoporosis is a disease of bone in which bone mineral density is reduced, bone microarchitecture is disrupted, and the amount and variety of non-collagenous proteins in bone is changed.

Osteoporotic bones are more susceptible to fracture.

Osteoporosis is defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as either a bone mineral density 2.5 standard deviations below peak bone mass (20-year-old person standard) as measured by DEXA or any fragility fracture.

While treatment modalities are becoming available, prevention is still the most important way to reduce fracture.

Due to its hormonal component, more women, particularly after menopause, suffer from osteoporosis than men.

Recently a connection was found between Fosamax use and a serious bone disease known as Osteonecrosis of the Jaw (ONJ). ONJ is also known as Dead Jaw or rotting of the jaw.
