Bone Drugs Dangerous To Your Health
Tuesday, August 26th, 2008The FDA has issued a warning on the biophosphonate drugs, Fosamax, Actonel, and Boniva. (January 2008, they are not going public for 10 more months) These drugs can cause severe and sometimes incapacitating bone, joint and/or muscle (musculoskeletal) pain in patients. This pain can occur within days, months or years after starting bisphosphonates. These drugs are highly inflammatory. There is also a link between these drugs and atrial fibrillation (a potential life-threatening heart problem). Merck’s study showed a 50% increase risk of A-Fib from Fosamax. There are also problems with rotting jaws as another side effect. In the January 2008, Annals of Internal Medicine, states that “there is insufficient evidence to determine the relative efficacy or safety of these agents”. Why aren’t you being told of the side effects or the fact that after 15 years they don’t work? This drug is making $4.3 billion for the drug companies.
