Actonel is drug manufactured by Proctor and Gambel, and it is meant to treat osteoporosis. It is also known by its generic name Risedronic acid. Unfortunately, like many other osteoporosis drugs, the adverse affects sometimes outweigh the positive ones; indeed, at times Actonel exacerbates symptoms of osteoporosis. Actonel is a member of the bisphosphonates class of drugs, which also includes: Aredia, Boniva, Fosamax, Reclast, and Zometa. All of these drugs have similar side effects.
The list of Actonel side effects is long and, to say the least, disconcerting. They include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Osteonecrosis of the Jaw
- Broken Femur
- Osteomyelitis
- Insufficient Healing of the Gums
- Atrial Fibrillation
- Esophageal Ulcers
- Hip Fractures
- Exposes Bone
- Heaviness of the bone
- Esophageal Cancer
Unfortunately, this drug is generally most harmful to the elderly, especially to elderly women (elderly women are the most likely people to take this drug). This is generally the case because women start taking such drugs at an earlier age and as such are more likely to experience the adverse effects.
