Should Fosamax be given for osteopenia?
Unfortunately, some doctors prescribe Fosamax for osteopenia.
But, is it the safest solution for long-term women's health? Osteopenia refers to bone mineral density (BMD) that is lower than normal bone mineral density but not low enough to be deemed as osteoporosis.
The concern is that long-term use of Fosamax is not without serious and debilitating health problems such as esophageal cancer, jawbone death, and most recently – femur bone fractures.
Our society wants a simple solution. The advertisement, “Ask your doctor about the purple pill,” makes that purple pill (not Fosamax), the best selling pharmaceutical drug in the United States.

Before asking your doctor for a pill to prevent or slow down osteopenia, patients should consider making lifestyle changes.
What types of lifestyle changes? Weight-bearing exercises like walking, dancing, hiking, and working out with light weights helps to increase bone mass as does a diet rich in calcium like milk, yogurt, cottage cheese, leafy green vegetables, salmon, fish oils, eggs, and calcium enriched products. Taking vitamin D and calcium supplements may also be recommended.
Before taking Fosamax for osteopenia, find out if there are safer alternatives.
If you or your loved one has suffered a femur bone fracture, esophageal cancer, or jawbone death from taking Fosamax – contact Anapol Schwartz law firm to find out if you're entitled to a Fosamax lawsuit.
