1 Sodium azide is a rapidly acting, potentially deadly chemical that exists as an odorless white solid. 2  When it is mixed with water or an acid, sodium azide changes rapidly to a toxic gas with a pungent (sharp) odor. Breathing the gas that is formed from sodium azide causes the most harm, but ingesting (swallowing) sodium azide can be toxic as well. 2  The gas formed from sodium azide is most dangerous in enclosed places where the gas will be trapped. 3  The toxic gas quickly disperses in open spaces, making it less harmful outdoors.
Fosamax (alendronate sodium) is a member of a medicine group called bisphosphonates. These drugs work to alter the cycle through which bone is formed and broken down within the body. Fosamax is made to slow a patientâs bone loss while simultaneously increasing the bone mass.osamax users have experienced severe side effects, including esophageal cancer, osteonecrosis of the jaw, and unusual bone fractures. It is also alleged that thousands of patients taking Fosamax do not actually face serious bone conditions, but are encouraged to use the drug as a preventative treatment.
