I'm so sorry for the lost of your mother. Your mom's liver haven't survived the harmful residues from the drug that's why her liver bleeds. Have you ask your mom's physician about her case? -
I suspect that Fosamax may have caused the death of a dearly loved Aunt. She never had significant health problems and at 82, was very active every day. After taking Fosamax as a preventive medication for a few years, her spleen suddenly went haywire - 73% more...
