Bloomberg: Merck Wins Lawsuit Brought by Fosamax Patient

NEW YORK (AP) — Merck & Co. said Monday it won a third lawsuit brought by a patient who said the company's former blockbuster osteoporosis drug Fosamax caused dental and jaw problems. The company faces more than a thousand lawsuits brought by patients who say they developed jaw and dental problems including osteonecrosis of the jaw — or rotting of the jawbone — after using Fosamax. Merck has now won three of the four lawsuits that have gone to trial.
