Fosamax is a drug that is commonly used to treat a number of bone diseases including osteoporosis and Paget’s disease. Such bone diseases often cause a loss in bone mass. Fosamax treatments help patients maintain or even increase bone density levels. Many older people in Ireland have been prescribed Fosamax.
