Fosamax ( generic name - Alendronate ) and Zometa are types of drugs known as bisphosphonates. Recently a link has been found between bisphosphonates and a serious bone disease called osteonecrosis of the jaw ( ONJ ). This important discovery clearly shows that Fosamax side effects may include osteonecrosis of the jaw.
The discovery, published in the Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons, prompted both the US, Food and Drug Administration ( FDA ) and Novartis, the manufacturer of bisphosphonates used in cancer chemotherapy, to issue a warning to health care professionals on September 24, 2004. The warning letter contained information about bisphosphonates and the risks of osteonecrosis in the jaw.
Bisphosphonates are commonly used in tablet form such as Fosamax ( Alendronate Sodium ) to prevent and treat osteoporosis in post-menopausal women. Stronger forms of bisphosphonates are commonly used in the management of advanced cancers that have metastasized to the bone, where the disease often causes bone pain and possibly even fractures. Several cancers can involve or metastasize to the bone, including lung cancer, breast cancer, prostate cancer, multiple myeloma, and others. When bisphosphonates are given in cancer chemotherapy, the drugs are given intravenously, and usually for longer periods of time.If you or a loved one have taken Fosamax or Zometa and have been injured as a result of Fosamax or Zometa side effects such as osteonecrosis of the jaw contact today the offices of

Osteonecrosis of the Jaw
Osteonecrosis of the jaw ( ONJ ) is a condition in which the bone tissue in the
jaw fails to heal after minor trauma such as a tooth extraction, causing the
bone to be exposed. The exposure can eventually lead to infection and fracture
and may require long-term antibiotic therapy or surgery to remove the dying
bone tissue. Experts say that prevention and early treatment of individuals
using bisphosphonates such as Fosamax or Zometa is extremely important in preserving the
jaw bone. Individuals using Fosomax, Zometa or other bisphosphonates should attempt to
avoid tooth extractions and other major dental work while on the drugs.
Although most cases of osteonecrosis of the jaw related to Fosamax or Zometa
side effects
have occured after dental work several cases have been reported to occur
without any prior dental work. If you are currently taking Fosamax or Zometa
you may be
at risk of developing osteonecrosis. If you have been injured by Fosamax or
Zometa side
effects you may be entitled to compensation. For more information about your
