Boniva is a drug used to treat osteoporosis (a condition of having a decrease in bone mass). The drug works by inhibiting one of the bone cells. which cell is inhibited? how would this increase bone mass??

Sally Field is a paid spokesperson for Boniva according to a Wikipedia article on Sally Fields (source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sally_Field) which states: "Currently, Field can be seen on television as the compensated spokesperson for Roche Laboratories' postmenopausal osteoporosis treatment medication, Boniva." In a New York Times article dated September 9, 2011 titled "Stronger Cautions Backed on Bone Drugs for Women" (http://www.nytimes.com/2011/09/10/business/fda-panels-back-sterner-

I can't stand her! I hated her in Forrest Gump and Mrs. Doubtfire. I can't stand her Boniva commercial. I don't watch tv shows and movies that I know she is in because I don't like her. Do you like her? Am I the only one who finds her extremely annoying?

I have just been informed that I have osteoporosis and my doctor gave me info on the medications, side effects etc and told me to do some research online and get back with her about what I thought would work best for me. I have some questions about the side effects. My doctor stated that the side effect of necrosis of the jaw (basically disinigration of the jaw bone) were over blown and usually found in people who had active or had had some type of cancer involving the head or neck. However,

My mother is going to be getting her medicare soon and she was offered a prescription program also to cover her medications. We were told to ask at our local Walgreens which plan would cover her specific medication but we went to Walgreens and they said they couldn't help us. My mother takes Boniva and another pill for her Thyroid. What plan should she choose?

40 years ago. He referred my to an oral surgeon and sent the x ray. I took a picture with my iPhone. It does not bother me and he examined my mouth completely. Could it be osteosarcoma from taking Boniva and Reclast?

I am physically disabled and therefore can't weight-bare. Because of this, I have Osteoporosis in my legs. I recently broke my leg, and I'm wondering if medication like Fosamax or Boniva will help reverse it and prevent future fractures. I have no movement in my legs, so weight-bearing exercises aren't an option for me.

I have had osteoporosis for years now. I was first diagnosed with it in 1993 when I broke my back. Since then I have broken it a second time & broke 2 ribs coughing, & a broke rib from a simple hug. At 1 time, I was on Fosamax . I had some bad reactions from it, so I quit taking it. I haven't been on a perscription for it since. I recently found out that Fosamax has been linked to several major side effects & the makers of it, Merck has lawsuits pending against them. I take calcium,but, I had

My dad has cancer and they suggested him taking it. What are your thoughts on what you've heard of the drug? Or do you have alternative suggestions for increasing bone density.

I was diagnosed with osteopenia and osteoporosis back in October 2009. I've been taking Boniva monthly for the past 11 months. Should I get the bone density scan to see if this drug is working or not?

i have been diagnosed with osteoporosis and advised to take boniva. However, boniva is very toxic.Is there a natural way to treat osteoporosis?

Boniva is a drug by Genetech and the Flying Nun is the personification of this drug. Now their is a recall because it apparently doesnt do what it says it does. Should the Flying Nun returned the money she received for participating in this grand scheme. Remember ignorance of the law is no excuse. The money should be returned to the FDA. How say you all?

I've read that in other countries women with little calcium intake do NOT have a higher fracture rate than US. Is it true that taking a high dose of calcium with appropriate D of course, again after long term use, a bone may break rather than fracture and will not heal properly. My dentist told me to not be on (the Bonivas) if I was considering a dental implant. So for the past ten years I only take calcium, D. mag., zinc. etc. I have fallen a couple of time over the years but no break an

Boniva? Mylanta? Allegra? Axona? Concerta? Cymbalta? Invega? Lunesta? [= My personal favorite!] Namenda? Strattera? Zyprexa? After all, they "sound pretty" and end in the vowel 'a.' That should be sufficient criteria for a parent to give their child a name that they will go through life with. Right?

I add the extra D because my test came back low even with 2,000 IUs. I am post menopausal. Luckly I would not take the Boniva or other of those scripts. I have read what happened to those women after five years on those meds. However, I feel that 1800 mgs of calcium is too much, if I do experience a fracture I want it to HEAL.

Can I get information on IV Boniva please?

...I have a precursor to osteoporosis My doctor saids I have osteopenia. Since I'm menopausal, and this is my third bone density test indicating more bone loss, she suggested I take medication, such as Evista or Boniva. The side effects of these medications is terrible. I am white, blond and slender and work out using the stair master. I also lift weights for the upper body. My spine is fine. I take plenty of calcium supplements. Does anyone have any recommendations on what specific wei

Like Fosamax, or Sally Field's Boniva? These drugs are called 'bisphosphonates,' and they have horrible side effects (including an increase in fractures of the bone, rather than a decrease--plus 'jaw death,' in which the bone cells of the jaw totally die and often cause facial deformities). So my question is this: Are you or anyone you know taking bisphosphonates--supposed 'osteoporosis-treating' drugs-- like Fosamax or Boniva? Have you or people you know who are taking bisphosphonates exp

I saw a commercial with a lady the other day talking about how she gained back natural energy she had when she was younger, it had a very "sally field boniva" feel to it anyway she ice skated around and talked about how this formula helped work with metabolism to give you a natural energy to stay away from energy drinks. I think it started with a Q and is an over the counter sold in stores product... Has anyone else this commercial or heard of this new "drug/supplement'? i would like to invest

"...Boniva’s convenient, sure. But as the Adwatch video explains, that convenience comes at a price—it can set you back about 10 times the cost of the similar drug alendronate (the generic version of Fosamax). No wonder Boniva’s backers, Roche and GlaxoSmithKline can afford to invest in a big-name celebrity to pitch it. Interestingly, studies don’t show that Boniva is any more effective than other bisphosphonates. So unless you absolutely can’t tolerate a weekly dosing schedule, it makes sense

I was watching a commercial for Boniva and they said don't take it if you can't sit or stand for 1 hour? I assume this is because the symptom is a sign of a higher level condition causing this. What medical condition would cause this? What would happen to a person afflicted with it if they did sit or stand for say 3 hours? @Jandy's response, this question really is not related to Boniva or what it treats at all.
