Hi,

I came across your site looking for information on
osteonecrosis of the jaw. I have been trying to get
information on the causes.
I have been coming across several recent articles
that may interest your support group on severe drug
side effects.
I have read where Fosamax ,Zometa and Aredia have been
linked to this disease.
Here are a couple of articles, including one from a
group of oral surgeons. The drug companies are now
just coming out with warnings

I also came across a law firm that specializes in
helping victims worldwide that suffer from Fosamax and Zometa
side effects. Their website is

I hope you find this information helpful

Hi ldrew

Thanks for the information. It will be useful. I was aware of this side effect of Bisphosphonates. It has been reported at several meetings.

Best wishes
