Osteonecrosis of the Jaw Information
Fosamax ( generic name - Alendronate ) is a type of drug known as bisphosphonates. Recently a link has been found between bisphosphonates and a serious bone cancer 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 jaw cancer and 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,jaw cancer, 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 jaw cancer and have been injured as a result of Fosamax,Zometa, and Aredia side effects such as osteonecrosis of the jaw contact today the offices of Powell Law Firm, L.C. is the nation's leading law firm for litigation regarding Bisphosphonate Complications. for your free, confidential case evaluation at toll-free 888-238-1998 Please state your name and phone number And we will get back with you promptly or email us at info@mpowelllaw.com www.MPowellLaw.com Accepting Inquiries from the U.S. and Internationally Every case is different.

Because early detection vastly improves the likelihood of cure, screening for jaw oral cancer should be an integral part of medical and dental examinations. Osteonecrosis of the jaw growths less than ˝ inch across usually can be cured. Unfortunately, most cancerous growths are not diagnosed until they are larger and have spread to the lymph nodes under the jaw and in the neck. Because of delayed detection, 25% of oral jaw cancers are fatal. Although most cases of osteonecrosis of the jaw related to Fosamax 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,Zometa, and Aredia you may be at risk of developing osteonecrosis. If you have been injured by Fosamax,Zometa, and Aredia side effects you may be entitled to compensation. For more information about your legal rights contact the offices of Powell
