Fosamax ® Information 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). , Our legal team argued that product liability claims against Novartis, the manufacurers of Zometa and Aredia, be tried in Multi-District Court. 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. When bisphosphonates are given in cancer chemotherapy, the drugs are given intravenously, and usually for longer periods of time.
