Who should your Fosamax lawyer hold responsible for ONJ?
Merck & Co. is the manufacturer of Fosamax and responsible for Fosamax
injury. Over 36 million women use Fosamax to
slow down, prevent, and treat osteoporosis. Merck's multi-million dollar ad
campaign has generated $3.2 billion dollars from last year's sale of Fosamax.
Once used to only treat osteoporosis, doctors are now prescribing Fosamax to
younger women to prevent osteoporosis. Our pill popping society is just
confidently eating it up.
The complete ravages of Fosamax injury are unknown. Bisphosphonates remain in
the body indefinitely so long range effects are still unknown. Reports are
starting to surface about patients who have had dental or oral surgeries and
then deterioration or death of jaw bones. All patients had one thing in common —
they were taking Fosamax or bisphosphonate medications for osteoporosis.
Merck has been slow to warn healthcare professionals and place an adequate
warning label on Fosamax regarding the Fosamax injury of jawbone death also
known as ONJ. Merck doesn't want this most debilitating and painful Fosamax
injury to interfere with the billion dollar sales of its second best-selling
medication. Merck is currently facing thousands of lawsuits by not properly
labeling Vioxx.
Proctor and Gamble is the manufacturer of
Actonel and responsible for Actonel injury. 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. Warning labels have not been as specific as they could
be to warn doctors and patients about the dangers of dead jawbone and their link
to oral surgeries.
Proctor and Gamble is responsible for Actonel injury.

Actonel class action lawsuit.
Novartis manufactured Aredia (generic name pamidronate disodium) a potent
intravenous bisphosphonate and is responsible for Aredia injury. Aredia
injection was used in conjunction with t-cell therapy for the treatment of
breast cancer and bone marrow cancer, as well as hypercalcemia of malignancy (HCM)
and Paget's disease.
In 2002, the FDA received nine spontaneous reports of osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ)
in patients with malignancy whose treatment regiments included intravenous
bisphosponates like Aredia and Zometa. Aredia is no longer on the market but its
long-term effects remain.
Novartis Pharma is responsible for Aredia injury.
Contact an Aredia lawyer
for a free consultation about your Aredia lawsuit.
Novartis manufactures Zometa (generic name zoledronic acid) a potent
intravenous bisphosphonate. Zoledronic acid injection is indicated for the
treatment of HCM (hypercalcemia of malignancy) and for patients with bone
cancer.
The FDA received reports of osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) in cancer patients
who required dental surgery. In 2003, Novartis updated the label to include the
warning about dental surgery. Even after stopping the use of Zometa,
bisphosphonates remain in the body and there is no way of knowing how it will
affect dental surgeries.
Novartis Pharma is responsible for Zometa injury. Contact an expert Zometa law firm for a free consultation about your Zometa lawsuit.
