The bisphosphonates that are marketed in the United States are Actonel, Actonel with Calcium, Aredia, Boniva, Didronel, Fosamax, Fosamax Plus D, Reclast, Skelid, and Zometa.

FDA informed healthcare professionals and patients of the possibility of severe and sometimes incapacitating bone, joint, and/or muscle (musculoskeletal) pain in patients taking bisphosphonates.

The alert is at:http://www.fda.gov/medwatch/safety/2008/safety08.htm#Bisphosphonates.

Unexpected or severe adverse reactions to bisphosphonates should be reported to the FDA's MedWatch program at 800-332-1088 or http://www.fda.gov/medwatch.
