I used Fosamax for a few years, unfortunately it was not suited for me. I was diagnosed with necrosis of the jaw it is very rare, after 18 months on penicillin and bits of bones appearing from my jaw, everything is fine now...so I recommend not to take it.
any bad side effects should go away in a week
I believe fosamax is off the market now got banned a very bad drug
