MHRA further measures to minimise risk of ONJ with denosumab and IV bisphosphonates

23rd July 2015

Denosumab 120mg is now contra-indicated in patients with unhealed lesions from dental or oral surgery, this follows a review by MHRA and other EU regulators.

In addition, patient reminder cards are being introduced and should be given to all patients receiving denosumab or IV bisphosphonates to inform them of the risk of osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) and the precautions to take before and during treatment. The reminder cards will be provided by the product licence/marketing authorization holders for the individual products. An example of the content of the reminder cards can be seen for denosumab from the links below.
