Why BONIVA?

If you have been diagnosed with postmenopausal osteoporosis, BONIVA may help you not only stop your bones from becoming weaker, it may also help reverse bone loss and make your bones stronger.

In fact, BONIVA is clinically proven to stop
and reverse bone loss in 9 out of 10 women
in one year!*
Because you take BONIVA 150 mg monthly, interruptions to your morning routine and your normal activities occur only once a month. Simply pick a day of the month that’s easy for you to remember. With the MyBONIVA Program, you can receive reminders by mail, phone, or e-mail to help you remember your BONIVA Day.

Be sure to ask your healthcare provider if BONIVA is right for you, and find out how to get one month free.

Only your doctor can decide if BONIVA is right for you. Start the conversation with these questions to ask your healthcare provider.


Who should not take BONIVA?

Do not take BONIVA if you:
  • have low blood calcium (hypocalcemia)
  • cannot sit or stand up for at least 1 hour (60 minutes)
  • have kidneys that work very poorly
  • are allergic to BONIVA or any of the other ingredients of BONIVA

If you prefer not to take BONIVA as a once-monthly tablet, learn about BONIVA Injection.
