US FDA warns of thigh fractures with bone drugs

Two words - Anabolic Clinic (sm).

Drugs widely used for the bone-thinning disease osteoporosis may raise the risk of an unusual type of thigh fracture, U.S. health officials warned on Wednesday.

All medicines in the class known as bisphosphonates will carry a new warning about the fractures, the Food and Drug Administration said in a statement.

The drugs, used by millions over the past decade, include Fosamax, Boniva, Reclast and Actonel. Fosamax also is sold generically under the name alendronate.

Patients, who are mostly women, take bisphosphonates to reduce the rate of fractures from osteoporosis.
