Despite the 11 kidney failure deaths that are known, Reclast is still on the market. All the OP drugs have FDA warnings for Kidney failure, A Fib, Jaw Degeneration, into the thousands. Yet all are still on the market. This is another of those how many have to DIE before it gets removed?
Just like our VA Care. Gov’t screws up everything it touches.
Reclast UPS kidney failure, A FIB risk.

Like most useful medications, Forteo may have its possible downside. In animals, it promotes the development of osteosarcoma, a type of bone cancer. In humans, osteosarcoma has not been reported but it remains a concern with Forteo. (The daily injections are also a downside.)
It is a incestuous relations ship between congress, big pharma, and FDA who congress controls.
A deadly game of 'Pay to Play".
