We are currently investigating injuries associated with the drugs Zometa and Aredia. Most people are familiar with these drugs as osteoporosis treatments for postmenopausal women. However, they are also approved for a variety of other indications, including other bone diseases such as Paget's disease. These drugs are also given to cancer patients for the prevention of fractures due to bone metastases.

These medications have also been linked to the following injuries:

• Leukopenia – decreased number of white blood cells
• Heart Problems
• Kidney Problems
• Atrial Fibrillation
