What is Boniva?
Boniva is a prescription medication that is classified as a bisphosphonate derivative.
What is Boniva used for?
It is used for the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis.
How does it work?
It inhibits osteoclast-mediated bone resorption and turnover resulting in a net gain in bone mass.
How to take Boniva?
What dosages are available?
Boniva comes as an intravenous (IV) solution (preservative and preservative free) and tablet. The Boniva IV solution with preservatives comes only as brand and the preservative free formulation comes only as generic. The tablets come as brand and generic forms (150 mg).
What is the recommended dosage?
The recommended dosage for treatment/prevention of osteoporosis is 150 mg by oral route once monthly.
What is the maximum dosage?
150mg is the max recommended dosage
What if I miss a dose?
If your next scheduled dose of Boniva is more than 7 days, you should take one Boniva tablet in the morning after the date that you remembered your missed dose. You should return back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not take two 150 mg Boniva tablets within the same week.
What should you know before you take Boniva?
Bone fractures (atypical femur fractures) have been reported in patients taking bisphosphonates. Patients receiving long-term (> 3 to 5 years) may be at higher risk of bone fractures. The benefits outweigh the risk generally within the first 5 years of bisphosphonate therapy.
Hypocalcemia has been reported with bisphosphonate use. This must be corrected before the initiation of Boniva therapy.
Although infrequent, there have been reports of severe (and sometimes debilitating) bone, joint, and/or muscle pain with bisphosphonate treatment.
Use with caution in patients with esophageal disease, dysphagia, duodenitis, ulcers, or gastritis as bisphosphonates may worsen the underlying condition. Stop if new/worsening symptoms occur.
A transient acute phase reaction (flu-like symptoms) can occur, usually within 3 days after the start of the bisphosphonate. Resolution of these symptoms usually occurs within 48 hours after symptom onset. Although rare, it can last > 7 days.
Hypersensitivity reactions have been reported, including angioedema, bronchospasm, exacerbation of asthma, anaphylactic reaction/shock (some fatal), Stevens-Johnson syndrome, dermatitis bullous, and erythema multiforme. Stop Boniva if hypersensitivity reactions occur.
Uveitis and scleritis have been reported with Boniva. Any signs of ocular inflammation may require ophthalmological evaluation.
Osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) has been reported in some patients taking bisphosphonates. ONJ is also referred to as medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ). Known risk factors for MRONJ include cancer diagnosis, invasive dental procedures (e.g., dental implants, bony surgery, tooth extraction), poor dental hygiene, comorbid disorders, and ill-fitting dentures. Risk can be increased with increased duration of bisphosphonate therapy. The manufacturer’s label states that bisphosphonates should be discontinued in patients that require invasive dental procedures to reduce the risk of ONJ. This will be determined by the physician and/or oral surgeon.
Do not use Boniva in patients with severe renal dysfunction ( CrCl < 30 mL/minute).
Oral Boniva is contraindicated in patients who cannot stand or sit upright for at least 60 minutes and in patients with any esophageal abnormalities that delay esophageal emptying (e.g., achalasia or stricture).
Known hypersensitivity to any component of the Boniva formulation.
Documentation of allergenic cross-reactivity for bisphosphonates is limited but the possibility of cross-sensitivity cannot be ruled out.
What are the side effects of Boniva?
Some common side effects include:
Speak to your doctor for a full list of side effects that apply to you if you are taking Boniva.

Polyvalent cation ion containing products can decrease the serum concentration of bisphosphonate derivatives. Avoid administration of any oral medications that contain polyvalent cations at the same time. Avoid these medications for 60 minutes after administration of your dose.
Food will decrease the absorption of this medication. Take your dose on an empty stomach and only with a full glass of water.
This is not a full list of potential drug-drug-interactions. Speak to your doctor if you have any concerns about drug-drug-interactions.
