ask: What are some alternatives to taking boniva?

Hi Anon

Thank you for your question!

You did not finish your post. Has Boniva been recommended to you? Are you worried about side effects?

There are many other supplements available besides Boniva. They include Fosamax but there is also a medication called Raloxifene that works in a way like estrogen to strengthen your bones but without the hormones.

There are also natural treatment including very beneficial diet and exercise recommendations and you can read all about that here:

Just be careful when taking bisphosphonates. If you step down and you get a sharp pain in your thigh, you may have a hairline fracture due to the medication. http://www.ktla.com/videogallery/69904155/News/VIDEO:-Warning-About-Bone...
