Merck & Co., Inc. is the manufacturer of Fosamax®; a medication commonly used to treat osteoporosis, Paget’s disease and other bone-loss causing conditions. A number of lawsuits have recently been filed against the company, as clinical studies have linked taking Fosamax® with a progressively debilitating condition known as Osteonecrosis of the Jaw (ONJ), or “Dead Jaw” - a rarely occurring condition that affects bone tissue in the jaw, leading to bone death and irreparable damage.
