Osteoporosis Drug Injury
Osteonecrosis Injury
Bisphosphonates are generally prescribed
as osteoporosis drugs, but also
for avascular
necrosis, and Paget's
Disease, among
others. A bisphosphonate
is intended to reduce bone fractures, by, for example, increasing bone
mass.
This class of drug is marketed
under several different name brands, including:
Some bisphosphonates have been
linked to a serious bone disease known as osteonecrosis of the
jaw.
Osteonecrosis injury occurs when the bone literally dies and cannot regenerate itself due to an
insufficient blood supply.
Other dangerous side effects which
have been suspected or may occur include:
- Kidney
damage
- Pregnancy-related
complications
- Severe allergic
reactions
- Severe joint,
muscle, bone pain
- Difficulty
swallowing
An osteoporosis drug injury and
osteonecrosis injury are often severe. A drug injury victim may be entitled to compensation for
harms and losses, including medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

defective and responsible for the injury or death.
