Boniva Information from Drugs.com
click above hyperlink.......
O.K. this is the one I mentioned the other day.
It’s supposed to strengthen one’s bones if they have osteopenia or in danger of osteoporosis.
Yet, if you read about the possible destruction of the jaw bone, etc., etc., etc. it is very scary.......
Also, upper thighbone breaks have been reported while on various bone meds.
A cousin has been on this and others for years and years now due to an original bone density check....which showed "pre osteopenia".
When the news came out re the destruction of the jaw bone, teeth falling out, thighbone breakage, etc......she asked her doctor if she should go off of it.
The doctor told her to stay on it. Now she worries all the time.
Read it.
