Aredia

Aredia is a common bisphosphonate, manufactured by Novartis, and is usually used to treat hypocalcaemia, Paget's disease, and cancer. In late 2005, the FDA announced that Aredia may contribute to a serious degenerative bone disease known as Osteonecrosis of the Jaw (ONJ). The FDA warned doctors and patients to avoid serious dental procedures while on Aredia because of the possibility of developing ONJ. Common side effects of ONJ include loose teeth, loss of teeth, bleeding or sore gums, exposed bone and excess drainage from the jaw.
