Am I eligible for an Actonel class action
lawsuit?
Actonel (generic name risedronate) is in a class
of drugs called bisphosphonates which is used for the treatment of Paget's
Disease (a disease in which the formation of bone is abnormal) and for
osteoporosis. Actonel has been linked to ONJ (osteonecrosis) or dead or rotting
jawbone.
Actonel is also used to prevent and treat osteoporosis that is caused by
cortisone-related medications that induce osteoporosis.
By slowing down the rate at which bone is
dissolved, Actonel increases the amount of bone. Actonel has a chemically unique
component as compared with the other bisphosphonates. Actonel is believed to
reduce the likelihood of gastro-intestinal side effects.
Actonel has been shown to slow or stop bone loss, increase bone mineral density,
and reduce the risk of spine and non-spine fractures. In clinical trials,
Actonel side effects were minimal to moderate. Actonel should be taken with a
glass of water at least 30 minutes before the first food or beverage of the day.
After taking Actonel, it's important to remain in an upright position and
refrain from eating for at least 30 minutes.
Actonel side effects are generally mild or moderate and may include back,
muscle, bone or joint pain, stomach pain or upset, or constipation. Contact your
doctor if symptoms are severe.
