Actonel (risedronate sodium tablet) is produced by Proctor & Gamble and is prescription medication designed to treat postmenopausal osteoporosis. It is related to drugs such as Zometa, Aredia and Fosomax.
Actonel has been linked to a serious degenerative bone disease known as Osteonecrosis of the Jaw (ONJ aka. Dead Jaw). ONJ is often diagnosed when the bone tissue fails to recover from dental work. Side effects of Actonel use that could indicate a more serious problem include bone pain, fractures, joint disorders, and other dental problems - see the full list below.

Osteonecrosis of the Jaw
Osteonecrosis of the jaw ( ONJ ) or dead jaw is a condition in which the bone tissue in the jaw fails to heal after minor trauma such as a tooth extraction, causing the bone to be exposed. The exposure can eventually lead to infection and fracture and may require long-term antibiotic therapy or surgery to remove the dying bone tissue.
Other Side effects or Actonel include:
- bone pain and bone loss
- tissue death
- loose teeth
- sore gums and dental problems
- pain and numbness
- difficulty breathing
- bone fractures
- joint disorders
- kidney problems
