First dose of Boniva
First dose of Boniva
Took it this morning. A bit of indigestion tonight after a dinner that
shouldn't have caused any. Maybe from the Boniva. I'll keep you all
posted on any strange side effects.
Anyone with anything to to share? I'd appreciate hearing from you.

Re: First dose of Boniva
I'm not a doctor so you'd have to check with one to be sure ... but
medications and food pass through the stomach in a matter of hours if
not minutes ... and then go into the intestine. It's just the way our
digestive system works. It would surprise me that you wouldn't have had
symptoms at breakfast ... but would have had them at dinner ... if they
were due to the Boniva. Also, in the clinical trials, only 5.6% of 396
people reported indigestion.
I would check with your doctor just to make sure.

Re: First dose of Boniva
There are a couple of options.
Continue with oral bisphosphonates (perhaps a one a month dosage is
optimal since it would only affect the esophagus/stomach once a month)
and monitor closely by engaging a gastroenterologist and having him/her
do endoscopies on a regular basis (perhaps once a year or more?).
Use injectable or iv bisphosphonates. Stronger, slightly more risk for
ONJ, but no impact on the stomach or digestive system. And frequency of
administration can be less, depending upon one's degree of bone resorption.

Re: First dose of Boniva
This being several days after my first dose of Boniva, I can tell you that I
am feeling better. I think I will stick with the Boniva for a while,
because as you said, the exposure is only once a month. I will have time
to heal in between.

Re: First dose of Boniva
In all honesty ... even with once a month "exposure", I would keep my
eye on it (or have a gastroenterologist keep his/her eye on it) if it
repeatedly irritates your stomach. JMO.

Re: First dose of Boniva
Hi Kate,
Typical of me..... if there is a side effect, I get it. One of the side
effects of Boniva is achy bones. I got it. Nothing that a single aspirin
doesn't help, so that's what I am taking.

Re: First dose of Boniva
Evelyn,
I am glad that an aspirin helps. But, if it gets worse, you might want
to mention this to your doctor. It may even
go away after awhile.
I have not had any problems with Boniva.

Re: First dose of Boniva
Kate, my neighbor is on Fosamax. He claims that his doctor told him that
boniva is very highly acidic, and that is why he takes the Fosamax (once a
week). He essentially said that the full dosage of acidic medication is
in that single dose, but that the Fosamax is divided. Not sure if that is
true.

Re: First dose of Boniva
Interesting. I have not heard of this. In the long run, I think we are
all guinea pigs and have to decide for ourselves what is best.
I hope you are doing OK on the Boniva.
