Apart from these common side effects, generic Boniva (Ibandronate) ( Japanese : イバンドロン ) is known to cause several bothersome and irritating, but not hazardous side effects. Some women have suffered from the additional gastrointestinal symptoms of constipation, lightheadedness, rash, and flu-like symptoms. Musculoskeletal side effects such as muscle pain, and cramping and pain in the extremities are also found in some women. The occurrence of some infections such as bronchitis and urinary tract infections cannot be fully denied too.
Boniva (Ibandronate), when used concurrently with certain medications, can produce undesirable side effects. Postmenopausal women with osteoporosis generally take calcium supplements to prevent the disease. However, you need to discontinue the use of such supplements while taking Boniva as calcium reduces the efficacy of the medication most of the time. Similarly, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as aspirin and Tylenol should be taken in moderation when you're continuing Ibandronate in order to avoid an upsurge in gastrointestinal side effects.
