Boniva

Boniva is a common bisposphonate manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline and Roche Holding AG. It is used to treat osteoporosis and is related to drugs such as to Actonel, Fosamax, Zometa, and Aredia. Boniva and the other bisposphonates may cause bone death in patients and has been linked to a condition known as Osteonecrosis of the Jaw (ONJ). ONJ causes bone tissue to die and never regenerate and is often discovered in patients who have dental work while on the drug. Symptoms include pain, numbness, swelling, and exposed bone.

Boniva Linked to Bone Death in Osteoporosis Patients

It has survived a lawsuit from a competitor and is now one of the most commonly-prescribed bisphosphonate drugs on the market...so why is Boniva coming under fire once more. The anti-osteoporosis drug, which is manufactured by Roche Laboratories, Inc. and prescribed to cancer patients and post-menopausal women, has been linked with serious side effects, including osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ), a rare condition in which the jawbone dies in the mouth. read more
