Introduction
Klein Lyons together with co-counsel Pihl & Associates www.okanaganlawyers.com, have filed a class action on behalf of Gabrielle Marcano and Lyle Folkestad for British Columbia residents who used the bisphosphonate drugs Fosamax, Didrocal and Actonel.
Bisphosphonates are prescription drugs that are used to increase bone density in patients with osteoporosis. However, they have also been known to lead to bone death in the jawbone, a condition known as osteonecrosis. This lawsuit alleges that the defendants, Merck and Proctor & Gamble, failed to disclose this serious side effect to patients and their physicians.
The Writ of Summons can be viewed on our Court Documents page.

I found the Klein Lyons website extremely helpful and informative, especially the FAQs. I am grateful and appreciative to have someone in my corner. Receiving the claim package yesterday gave me the mental strength to carry on. You have no idea how good it felt to know that my claim had been accepted.
