Actonel

Actonel is a common bisphosphonate manufactured by Proctor & Gamble and is most often used to treat postmenopausal osteoporosis. It is related to drugs such as Zometa, Aredia and Fosomax. Actonel has been linked to a serious degenerative bone disease known as Osteonecrosis of the Jaw (ONJ). ONJ is often diagnosed when the bone tissue fails to recover from dental work. Side effects of Actonel use that could indicate a more serious problem include bone pain, fractures, joint disorders, and other dental problems.
