Bone building drugs that don't cause ONJ?

by debbi on Fri May 10, 2013 7:42 am

My husband had to discontinue Zometa because of osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ), and now we think he has another compression fracture in his back (he had 6 at time of his diagnosis in August 2011).

We were just wondering, is there anything else that can be taken to strengthen the bones that doesn't cause ONJ?
