Reported Results |
| Benefits: | | Was to prevent thinning of bones |
| Side effects: | | Nauseau, increasing in severity each time Boniva was taken. By the third month, even with waiting a couple of hours after taking the pill before any food was consumed, the food did not stay down at all. Before eating, it was like dry heaves and it was hoped food would alleviate those. It didn't work. Felt miserable for most of the rest of the day |
| Comments: | | Take one Boniva once a month. |
