Boniva Injection contains the active ingredient ibandronate sodium. It is a prescription medication used to treat osteoporosis in postmenopausal women.

Postmenopausal Osteoporosis

Boniva Injection helps strengthen bones in women who have osteoporosis after menopause.

It can:

  • Increase bone mineral density
  • Slow bone loss
  • Reduce the risk of fractures in the spine

Boniva Injection has been shown to reduce vertebral fractures, which are fractures of the bones in the spine.

How Boniva Injection Works

Boniva belongs to a group of medications called bisphosphonates.

These medications slow down the cells that break down old bone.

By reducing bone breakdown, Boniva helps the body maintain stronger bones and increase bone mineral density over time.

Important Note

Boniva Injection is usually given by a healthcare professional as an intravenous injection once every 3 months.

Your healthcare provider may also recommend calcium and vitamin D if you are not getting enough from your diet.

Boniva Injection is given into a vein by a healthcare professional.

The usual dose is 3 mg once every 3 months.

The injection is given slowly over about 15 to 30 seconds.

Before Each Dose

Before each injection, your healthcare provider may check your:

  • Kidney function
  • Calcium levels
  • Vitamin D status
  • Overall bone health

Low calcium levels should be corrected before receiving Boniva Injection.

Calcium and Vitamin D

Your healthcare provider may recommend calcium and vitamin D supplements if you are not getting enough from your diet.

Take these supplements exactly as directed.

Stay Hydrated

Drink enough fluids unless your healthcare provider has told you to limit your fluid intake.

Good hydration is especially important because Boniva is removed from the body through the kidneys.

Dental Care

Tell your healthcare provider if you have dental problems or are planning major dental work.

Bisphosphonates such as Boniva have been linked to a rare jaw problem called osteonecrosis of the jaw.

Maintain good oral hygiene and have regular dental care during treatment.

What If I Miss an Injection?

If you miss your scheduled Boniva Injection, contact your healthcare provider to arrange a new appointment.

The next injection is usually scheduled 3 months after the rescheduled dose.

Do not receive extra doses to make up for the missed injection.

Important Safety Note

Boniva Injection must be given into a vein.

It should not be injected into a muscle, under the skin, or into an artery because this can cause tissue damage.

Continue treatment for as long as your healthcare provider recommends. Do not stop treatment without discussing it first.

Kidney Problems

Boniva Injection is removed from the body through the kidneys.

It should be used carefully in people with reduced kidney function. Your healthcare provider may check your kidney function before each dose.

Boniva Injection is generally not recommended in people with severe kidney impairment.

Low Calcium Levels

Boniva can lower calcium levels in the blood.

Any low calcium level should be corrected before treatment begins. Your healthcare provider may also recommend calcium and vitamin D supplements.

Tell your healthcare provider if you develop muscle cramps, tingling, numbness, or muscle spasms.

Dental Problems and Jaw Bone Damage

Bisphosphonates such as Boniva have been linked to a rare condition called osteonecrosis of the jaw.

The risk may be higher in people who:

  • Need major dental procedures
  • Have poor oral health
  • Have cancer
  • Use corticosteroids
  • Receive certain cancer treatments

Tell your healthcare provider and dentist that you receive Boniva before having dental work.

Unusual Thigh Bone Fractures

Rarely, long-term bisphosphonate treatment can cause unusual fractures of the thigh bone.

Tell your healthcare provider if you develop new or unexplained pain in your thigh, hip, or groin.

Severe Bone, Joint, or Muscle Pain

Boniva can sometimes cause severe bone, joint, or muscle pain.

Symptoms may begin within days or may occur months after starting treatment.

Contact your healthcare provider if you develop severe or persistent pain.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

Boniva Injection is intended for postmenopausal women.

Tell your healthcare provider if you are pregnant, may become pregnant, or are breastfeeding. Boniva is generally not used during pregnancy.

Allergic Reactions

Do not use Boniva Injection if you are allergic to ibandronate or any ingredient in the medication.

Seek emergency medical attention if you develop swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat, severe rash, or trouble breathing.

Other Medications and Supplements

Tell your healthcare provider about all prescription medications, over-the-counter products, vitamins, and supplements you take.

Extra care may be needed with medications that can also affect the kidneys or calcium levels.

Regular Monitoring

Your healthcare provider may periodically review your kidney function, calcium and vitamin D levels, dental health, and overall fracture risk.

Long-term bisphosphonate treatment should be reviewed regularly to make sure the benefits continue to outweigh the risks.

How often is Boniva Injection given?

Boniva Injection is usually given once every 3 months. It is given into a vein by a healthcare professional.

How long does Boniva Injection take to work?

Boniva starts slowing bone loss after treatment begins, but changes in bone strength happen gradually. Your healthcare provider may use bone density tests over time to check how well treatment is working.

What should I do if I miss my Boniva Injection?

Contact your healthcare provider to reschedule the injection. Your next dose is usually scheduled 3 months after the rescheduled injection. Do not receive extra doses to make up for a missed treatment.

Do I need calcium and vitamin D while using Boniva?

Yes, you may need calcium and vitamin D if you are not getting enough from your diet. Your healthcare provider can tell you how much you need. Low calcium levels should be corrected before receiving Boniva Injection.

Can Boniva Injection cause jaw problems?

Rarely, Boniva can cause a condition called osteonecrosis of the jaw. Tell your healthcare provider and dentist that you receive Boniva, especially before having a tooth removed or other major dental work. Contact your healthcare provider if you develop jaw pain, swelling, loose teeth, or a sore in your mouth that does not heal.

Can Boniva Injection affect the kidneys?

Yes. Boniva can affect kidney function. Your healthcare provider may check your kidney function before each injection. Boniva Injection is generally not used in people with severe kidney impairment.

Can Boniva Injection cause bone or muscle pain?

Yes. Some people develop bone, joint, or muscle pain. This may be mild, but severe pain can occasionally occur. Contact your healthcare provider if you develop severe or persistent pain.

How long will I need Boniva Injection?

The length of treatment depends on your fracture risk, bone density, medical history, and response to treatment. Your healthcare provider should review your treatment regularly to decide whether you should continue.

Can I have dental work while receiving Boniva?

Routine dental care is generally encouraged. Tell your dentist that you receive Boniva before having invasive dental procedures such as tooth extractions. Your healthcare provider and dentist can decide whether any special precautions are needed.

Is Boniva Injection the same as Boniva tablets?

They contain the same active ingredient, ibandronate, but they are given differently. Boniva Injection is given into a vein every 3 months, while oral ibandronate has a different dosing schedule and different instructions. Do not switch between forms unless your healthcare provider tells you to.
