Drug maker Merck & Co. has been ordered by a jury to pay $8 million to a Florida woman whom claimed that the company’s drug Fosamax caused her severe jaw damage. The woman said in her lawsuit that the osteoporosis drug, which she had taken from 1997-2006, caused the tissue in her jaw bone to deteriorate. Reuters is reporting that there are some 900 lawsuits pending against Fosamax by patients who claim the same effects.
