BONIVA  (IBANDRONATE SODIUM):  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 (such as 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.   FDA Approval Date: 2005-03-24 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 1  osteoporosis Joint/bone/muscle pain and limitation of motion in shoulder areas. I took one 150mg (once-monthly dose) of Boniva on Oct. 3, 2005 and about two weeks later began experiencing severe bone, joint, and muscle pain in both my shoulders. This occurred spontaneously, without any trauma or injury. I didn't take any more Boniva, but I still have the severe pain together with limitation of motion, mostly in my left shoulder although I am right-handed. This has actually become worse instead of better, and has migrated into my right collar bone area and neck. I have an appointment to see my doctor this week. I need to know, HAS ANYONE RECEIVED A SPECIFIC DIAGNOSIS of any DISEASE/DISORDER/SYNDROME involving this bisphosphonate-related joint/bone/muscle pain? Posted Jan. 30, 2006 F 65 1 days
