The American Dental Association is reporting that users of FOSAMAX are at increased risk for the development of Osteonecrosis of the Jaw (ONJ) or bisphosphonate-associated osteonecrosis (BON), more commonly referred to as "DEAD JAW." FOSAMAX is prescribed for the treatment of osteoporosis and may sometimes be prescribed to patients with cancer.

Symptoms of DEAD JAW include the following:

Pain, swelling, or infection of the gums or jaw;
Gums that do not heal;
Loose teeth;
Numbness or a feeling of heaviness of the jaw;
Drainage; and
Exposed bone

If you or a loved one are using Fosamax and have experienced any of these symptoms, call the attorneys at Robert J. DeBry and Associates today at 1-866-Try-DeBry (879-3327), 262-8915 (SLC) or email us. You may have a claim for the physical harm you have suffered.

Please do not discontinue taking any medications
without first consulting your doctor.
