   Recently a link has been found between bisphosphonates and a serious bone disease called osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ). This important discovery clearly shows that
Aredia,Zometa and 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 bisphosphonates and the risks of AREDIA osteonecrosis in the jaw.
