1 | prevent osteoporosis | I have been taking Boniva for 2 years with no adverse side effects. I took my first dose of this generic Boniva 4 days ago and had horrible side effects including numbness and tingling on one side of my face, it felt like something popped in my jaw (spasm), numbness around my midsection, and insomnia. My doctor said these were all side effects. The insurance company decided to change my prescription to generic without my doctor's consent. My doctor took me off of this and the Boniva permanently. I would not recommend either drug to anyone. They should be taken off the market. | F | 91 | 1 days 150 mg | 10/3/2013 |
IBANDRONATE SODIUM (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.
