Can Intake Of Boniva Cause Broken Jaw Due To Fall?
Is there a class action suit against the makers of boniva? After fracturing her femur bone 2 years ago a friend of mine just fell on the carpet and broke her jaw in three places. Surgeon feels it results from the boniva she took for many years previously.

Hello and thank you for your question. Boniva and similar drugs may cause something called osteonecrosis of the jaw resulting in fractures. There are both individual and class action lawsuits pending against the manufacturers of Boniva. Thank you for using HCM.
