Zometa

Zometa, manufactured by Novartis, is a common intravenous bisposphonate similar to Actonel, Aredia, Boniva, and Fosamax. It is prescribed to prevent bone loss, but has very serious side effects including the development of a condition known as Osteonecrosis of the Jaw (ONJ). ONJ causes the jaw bone to degenerate, resulting in serious and irreparable side effects including bone loss, pain, numbness, and exposed bone. Other side effects of Zometa include difficulty breathing, kidney problems and low levels of calcium.
