Merck Wins Verdict in Suit Claiming Fosamax Defect

Nov. 19 (Bloomberg) -- Merck & Co.’s Fosamax osteoporosis drug isn’t responsible for a Florida woman’s dental and jaw problems, a New York jury found today.

Judith Graves sued Merck in 2006, alleging the company failed to warn doctors and patients that the bone-loss drug was linked to jaw tissue death. Graves said she developed jaw problems requiring multiple surgeries after taking the drug. Merck said her condition was connected to underlying medical conditions.
