What are Generics? A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, how it is taken, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name and works the same way in the body in the same amount of time.

The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is the generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (e.g. different shape or color), as trademark laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.

Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to invent a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name drug and sell it at substantial discounts.

Boniva Cautions

First and foremost you should not take Boniva if you have experienced an allergic or other adverse reaction to it or any other ingredient that is used in the production of Boniva. If you are worried that you may have had an adverse reaction to Boniva in the past then you should discuss this with your doctor. Boniva will not offer you a magic cure overnight and will in most cases take many weeks to reach its full effect. For this reason it is important that you do not give up on this medicine and never stop taking a medicine without first talking to your doctor. Stopping a medicine suddenly will often result in a worsening of symptoms and side effects and in most cases your doctor will want you to come off a medicine slowly, a process known as tapering. There may be tests that are required by your doctor to check for side effects and/or monitor how effective the medicine is for you, however your doctor will talk to you about what is required. It is important to attend all laboratory and doctor appointments while you are taking Boniva and additional appointments may be necessary when a change to the dose is made and during the initial starting period. As this medicine takes several weeks to reach its full effect you should avoid performing tasks such as driving, operating heavy machinery or any other dangerous activities during this time. Boniva can make you feel tired and drowsy therefore you should wait until you know what effects it has on your body before you partake in the above activities. Boniva can cause heartburn, pain or trouble with swallowing, or rarely ulcers in your stomach or food pipe. By taking this medication with lots of water and by staying upright after swallowing the tablet you will decrease your risk of these happening to you. In rare cases some people develop jaw problems as a result of taking Boniva and you should talk about this with your doctor. You must let your doctor or dentist know that you are taking Boniva before you undergo any dental or emergency medical procedures.
Boniva may have adverse effects on the fetus in pregnant women and so all women who may be thinking about getting pregnant should weigh up the pros and cons of taking this medicine during pregnancy with their doctor. Also there is not enough research for us to know if Boniva is excreted in the breast milk and so general advice at this time is to not breast-feed while on this medication.

Boniva Side Effects

As is the case with most drugs Boniva is not without its side effects. Some of the things that you may notice when taking this medication include: pain in your hands or feet, flu-like symptoms, trouble sleeping, constipation, nausea, diarrhea, dizziness, stomach upset, or headache. These may be minor and go away during the course of treatment, however if they do bother you then you must talk to your doctor. Boniva was prescribed to you, as your doctor believes that the benefits will outweigh the side effects and so it is usual to expect some symptoms. However these symptoms should not cause you major discomfort and if this is the case then please talk to your doctor. You must talk to your doctor as soon as possible if you experience any severe joint, bone, or muscle pain, difficulty swallowing, chest pain, tarry stools, blood in your vomit, pain or swelling, persistent or severe heartburn, jaw pain, eye pain or vision changes, dizziness, severe headache, painful or difficult urination, fever, sore throat, or persistent cough. Fortunately it is uncommon for someone to have an allergic reaction to this medicine, however they do occur and if you notice severe dizziness, a rash, itching, trouble breathing or swelling then you must seek immediate medical attention.
