Stella Poe Wouldn't Have Taken It
Filed under: Bisphosphonates
Stella Poe is one of dozens of women who took Fosamax and is suing Merck, the maker of Fosamax. She took it for eight years and now has no teeth and no bone in her jaw. "If there was a warning, I wouldn't have taken it. ... I wouldn't have taken it," she said.
"When Poe began taking Fosamax, her attorney says there was no mention of ONJ under the warning label. In 2005, the FDA requested Merck include that in their warning. It has been there ever since, but patients like Poe say they were never told". (MySA.com)

The more I read about this the angrier I get. Women should have been warned.
