• Antacids
• Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) and naproxen (Naprosyn, Aleve)
• Calcium, iron, or potassium supplements
• Doxycycline (Doryx, Vibramycin)

Fosamax - Getting Legal Help

While all medications have certain, anticipated side effects, a drug manufacturer has a duty to make its products as reasonably safe as possible, and to inform the medical community and the public of known risks associated with its drugs. If a manufacturer fails to do so, it can be held legally responsible if patients are injured as the result of inadequate warnings or the unreasonably dangerous nature of the drug, under a legal theory called "product liability."

If you or a loved one have experienced any dangerous symptoms or unusual medical conditions while taking Fosamax, you should first contact your doctor or other healthcare professional. You may also wish to meet with an experienced attorney to discuss your options and to protect your right to a legal remedy for any injuries caused by Fosamax use.
