For years, I hoped calcium, vitamin D, and exercise would keep my bones healthy. But I got osteoporosis
anyway, so my doctor started me on once-monthly BONIVA. In most women, BONIVA works with the body
to help stop and reverse bone loss. My test results proved I was able to stop and reverse my bone loss with
BONIVA. And studies show, after one year on BONIVA, 9 out of 10 women did, too.r
Ask your doctor if BONIVA is right for you.

BONIVA is a prescription medication for the management of postmenopausal osteoporosis.
Important Safety
Information:
You
should
not take
BONIVA
if you

calcium,
cannot sit or stand for at least 60 minutes,
have severe kidney disease, or are allergic to BONIVA.
Stop taking BONIVA and tell your doctor right away if you experience difficult or painful swallowing,
chest pain, or severe or continuing heartburn, as these may be signs of serious upper digestive problems.
Follow the dosing instructions for once-monthly BONIVA carefully to lower the chance of these events
occurring. Side effects may include diarrhea, pain
in the arms or legs, or upset stomach. Tell your
doctor and dentist about all the medicines you take. Tell them if you develop jaw problems (especially
following
a
dental
procedure)
or severe
bone,
joint,
and/or
muscle
pain.
Your doctor may also
recommend a calcium and vitamin D supplement.
You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA.
