Boniva Injury Litigation
Boniva is a popular medication used for the management of postmenopausal osteoporosis. The drug is made by GlaxoSmithKline, and is also known under the more general term “ibandronic acid.”
Boniva belongs to a group of drugs called bisposphonates. The medication treats its users by binding to specific cells in bones, which can help prevent vertebral fractures and enhance bone mineral density in the hip and spine.
Even though Boniva has helped many patients, it has unfortunately been linked to certain unpleasant side effects.
Boniva and Osteonecrosis of the Jaw
One of the most severe side effects of taking Boniva and other bisphosphonates is Osteonecrosis of the Jaw. It is a serious bone disease that happens as a result of a reduced local blood supply. Without this blood supply the bone literally dies.
In the past few years, there have been thousands of reports of osteonecrosis of the jaw in patients taking Boniva and other bisphosphonates.
