MEDICINE SH PPE Jim Smith The Medicine Shoppe ® Pharmacy Osteoporosis Drug Can Cause "Dead Jaw" Alendronate (Fosamax®) is a bisphos- 3honate used to treat osteoporosis and decreased bone density in postmenopausal women, The drug has been shown to cause osteo- necrosis (ON J) of the jaw, or "dead jaw," a slow death of bone tissue that occurs because of poor blood supply to the bone. The deterioration is painful and often characterized by mouth swelling, loosening of teeth and exposed bone. Sometimes, the problem is not discovered until the person has dental work invdlving the bone that does not heal, which may lead to jaw fracture or require long-term antibiotic care. Patients are at an increased risk for ONJ if they have received bisphosphonates intravenously; undergone chemo- therapy; have a history of cancer, Paget's disease or osteoporosis; use corticosteroids while on alendronate; or have extensive dental work. Early diagnosis might prevent or reduce the problems caused by advanced destructive lesions of the jaw bone. While osteonecrosis can be man- lged, it is irreversible. ....... i 1-800-640-5503 207 Professional Way 426-4272 (Across from the hospital) I Journal Classifieds (360) 426-4412 ACCEPTING HER award plaque from Mason County Commissioner Ross Gallagher is Kristin Wolle, one of nine 2007 Volunteers of the Year.

A SUMMER CAUTION l .lo,Tdt Z3l'r, P. T. After a sea- son of relative inactivity, many people are lured by warmer tem- peratures to in- dulge their passion tbr playing tennis or joining a softball league. While this is all well and good, summer athletes should temper their enthusiasm by slowly accustoming their muscles and tendons to the rigors of their favorite sports, tlitting a tennis ball and throwing a softball are strenuous and repetitive movements that place a lot of stress on tendons, which are the tissues that connect muscle to bone. Prolonged stress can lead to tendon- iris, or inflammation of the tendon. Symptoms usually include tenderness and pain at the site. Rest is vital to helping tendonitis heal, which is why prevention is so important. When you require rehabilitative care after a sports itiury or surgery, contact our office.
