Boniva

Boniva is a common bisposphonate manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline and Roche Holding AG. It is used to treat osteoporosis and is related to drugs such as to Actonel, Fosamax, Zometa, and Aredia. Boniva and the other bisposphonates may cause bone death in patients and has been linked to a condition known as Osteonecrosis of the Jaw (ONJ). ONJ causes bone tissue to die and never regenerate and is often discovered in patients who have dental work while on the drug. Symptoms include pain, numbness, swelling, and exposed bone.
