Fosamax Side Effects
The most serious Fosamax side effect is the development of a bone disease called osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ), or “dead jaw.”

Fosamax users can potentially develop a serious case of osteonecrosis of the jaw and be forced to suffer through the pain associated with the subsequent death of jawbone tissue. The pain associated with ONJ is said to be similar to that which is suffered by arthritics. Symptoms of ONJ can include localized pain in the jaw and maxillofacial region, a feeling of numbness or altered sensation, the loosening of teeth, soft tissue infections, and/or the exposure of bone within the oral cavity.
