Though Zometa and Aredia are reputed to be effective as anti-cancer medications, they also cause damage to bones in some instances. Specifically, both contain a compound called bisphosphonate that weakens bones. Though bisphosphonates can occasionally damage bones throughout a victim's body, damage most often manifests as:
- A fractured femur/hip bone
- Damage to the jaw bone (often referred to as osteonecrosis of the jaw [ONJ]). Jaw injuries can include a broken jaw, a broken jaw that won't heal and the loss of teeth.
Defendant liability in Zometa and Aredia cases can be challenging because the drugs are often used to save lives. Nonetheless, Zometa and Aredia injury and medical malpractice cases have been resolved successfully when medical care providers fail to warn of the potential adverse affects of the drugs or when the drug is over-prescribed or prescribed without cause.
