If you
have osteoporosis,
like me, calcium-rich
foods, vitamin
D, and exercise can
help.
But they may not be enough to keep your bones strong. So ask your doctor if once-monthly
BONIVA can help you do more.
BONIVA is a prescription medication to treat and prevent postmenopausal osteoporosis.
Ask you r d octor if BONIVA is
right fo r you.

stomach),
low
blood
calcium,
cannot sit or

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.
