Information, Symptoms, Treatments and Resources
What is Boniva?
Boniva 150 mg Tab
Drug Name: IBANDRONATE MONTHLY - ORAL
Other Brand Names: Boniva
Uses: Ibandronate is used to prevent and treat certain types of bone loss (osteoporosis). Osteoporosis causes bones to become thinner and break more easily. Your chance of developing osteoporosis increases after menopause, as you age, or if you take corticosteroid medications (e.g., prednisone) for long periods. This medication works by slowing bone loss to help maintain strong bones and reduce the risk of broken bones (fractures). Ibandronate belongs to a class of medications called bisphosphonates.
