Boniva (Ibandronate)

Boniva Information:

Boniva (generic name: Ibandronate Sodium) is an oral prescription medication used for the treatment and prevention of osteoporosis in post-menopausal women. Ibandronate It belongs to the group of drugs called bisphosphonates. It works by altering the cycle of bone formation and breakdown in the body. Boniva slows the bone loss, and at the same time increases bone mass which helps to prevent fractures, a common symptom of osteoporosis. Up until the age of about 30, the body deposits more calcium into the bones than it takes out. Estrogen also helps to keep calcium in the bones throughout a woman’s reproductive years, but the menopause causes estrogen levels to drop dramatically, and therefore the bones are weakened as the calcium is lost. Boniva decreases the activity of the cells that cause bone loss after the menopause, and all that is required is a single tablet per month which is extremely convenient for the patient. It has been clinically proven to not only maintain bone density but to also help to reverse bone loss.
