Ibandronic Acid

With aggravated osteoporosis my partner has been offered the choice of monthly doses of Bonviva or a six monthly injection. Which would be most effective to mitigate the osteoporosis while remaining compatible with an AF/pacemaker regime that includes Amias, Sotalol, Furosemide, and Apixaban?.

I think that well above most of our pay grade. Best discuss with a pharmacist.

They are both very effective treatments for osteoporosis.I would probably ask for the six monthly injection,this is more convenient and will not affect your stomach.

I took the monthly tablet (on a 'holiday' at present). The only inconvenience I found was the hour after taking it when no eating or drinking was allowed and you have to sit or stand, never lie down !
