"Fosamax and Actonel:

These drugs were thought to be useful because the Fracture Intervention Trial (FIT)  with Osteoporotic women who already had fractures showed increased bone density on DEXA Scan and decreased fracture rate over the four years on the drug. However, these drugs kill bone cells called osteoclasts and cause a dramatic reduction in bone formation which some researchers think will eventually lead to weak bones which fracture more easily.  In support of this cautionary note, Dr. Odvina at the University of Texas (Mar 2005 J Clin Endocrin Metab) reported on nine patients who sustained spontaneous nonspinal fractures while on Alendronate (Fosamax)  therapy, six of whom displayed either delayed or absent fracture healing.   "Public health campaigns to encourage women with osteopenia and no additional fracture risk factors to take antiresorptive medications (Fosamax) do not appear to be justified," stated Dr. John T. Schousboe from Park Nicollet Clinic, Minneapolis, MN, in the May 3rd issue of the Annals of Internal Medicine."
