All medicines have benefits and risks. The risks of medicines are the chances that something unwanted or unexpected could happen to you when you use them. Risks could be less serious things, such as an upset stomach, or more serious things, such as liver damage. FDA approves a drug for marketing after determining that the drug's benefits outweigh its risks. It is important that drugs are monitored for side effects. Sometimes side effects can be reduced with the right treatment.

Boniva oral once a month. report #SELF-573

Female patient reported the following Boniva oral once a month. side effect(s):None. Doctor\'s advice.

Poison Alert: This \"new\" drug should not be taken unless you have researched it and come to your own informed decision, independent of your doctor’s advice. The lovable Sally Field commercials can work on your sub-conscious making you feel you should try Boniva but beware. Boniva (bisphophonate) could be dangerous, even fatal. This healthy woman who practiced a perfect life style, never caught up in the \"health care system\", suddenly is in a struggle for her life. One half of a Boniva pill in May 07, as a cautious approach, followed by one whole pill in June and the lights went out. If your doctor recommends any of the bisphosphonates class of drugs, Google Actonel, Fosamax or Boniva and read and study before you decide to swallow. These potentially dangerous drugs have a long half-life and accumulate in your body, increasing risk as time passes. Please warn people you love that might be frail, petite, thin-boned, sensitive to chemicals or drugs, or in poor health to avoid Boniva. In Japan Boniva is not promoted; and, it may be especially dangerous for small Asian women of slight build. If you do take Boniva, eliminate orange juice and other acid producing foods from your diet, and do not take Advil or most of the other over the counter pain relievers, as I have read they can interact negatively with Boniva. Being informed will help you stay healthy.
