Zometa Side Effects Information

Zometa is a type of drug known as bisphosphonates. 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 Zometa 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 osteonecrosis in the jaw.

If you have been injured by Zometa side effects you may be entitled to compensation.

We have formed an experienced litigation team to
represent your interests against
the appropriate pharmaceutical manufacturers.
