Lawsuit
Status
Our Legal Team
has been appointed to the
Plaintiff Steering Committee.
This committee has
the power to determine:
-what legal
theories to pursue,
-what depositions will be taken and how to conduct
discovery.
On
March 30, 2006, our legal team argued that product liability actions against
Novartis, makers of Zometa and Aredia, be tried as Multi-District Litigation
(MDL) cases.
The Defendant
Novartis opposed this motion.
On April 18, 2006, The
Judicial Panel on
Multidistrict Litigation granted the motion.
We argued for this
because we believe that this process will save time and costs necessary to
litigate these cases.

Fosamax Side Effects Lawsuit News
Fosamax ® (generic name -
Alendronate) is a type of drug known as bisphosphonates. Recently a link has been found
between bisphosphonates and a serious bone disease
called
osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ). This important discovery clearly
shows that Fosamax ®
side effects
may
include
osteonecrosis of the jaw. |
Zometa Side Effects Lawsuit News The
discovery, published in the Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons, prompted
both the US, Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Novartis, the manufacturer
of bisphosphonates used in cancer chemotherapy, to issue a warning to health
care professionals on September 24, 2004. The warning
letter
contained information about bisphosphonates and the risks of osteonecrosis in
the jaw. |

Actonel Side Effects News Bisphosphonates are commonly used in
tablet form such as Fosamax ® (Alendronate Sodium) and Actonel ® to prevent and treat osteoporosis in
post-menopausal women. Stronger forms of bisphosphonates are commonly used in
the management of advanced cancers that have metastasized to the bone, where the
disease often causes bone pain and possibly even fractures. Several cancers can
involve or metastasize to the bone, including lung cancer, breast cancer,
prostate cancer, multiple myeloma, and others. When bisphosphonates are given in
cancer chemotherapy, the drugs are given intravenously, and usually for
longer periods of time. |
