Bisphosphonate Lawyers

Drugs containing bisphosphonates, such as Actonel, Aredia, Atelvia, Boniva, Fosamax, Reclast, and Zometa, are generally marketed for prevention or treatment of bone loss / osteoporosis.

Risks

However a recent study has shown that long term use of bisphosphonates increases the risk of some fractures, including subtrochanteric and femur fractures.

Based on FDA review, as of October 2010, the FDA required the inclusion of a Medication Guide for these drugs, to inform patients of the possible increased fracture risk.

Currently there are two distinct venues of litigation, one for jaw cases, and one for other cases such as femur fractures.
