Allergic Reaction to Osteoporosis Meds

[Sheena2020]

I have recently been diagnosed with osteoporosis. My doctor prescribed Boniva (Ibandronate sodium tablets) once a month, and told me to eat calcium rich foods and take a calcium supplement and vitamin D, plus to walk and do weight bearing exercises.

I took one Boniva so far, and my throat and eyes itched right after but it went away. The doctor said if I am itchy again after the second dose, to stop taking it and see an endocrinologist for other options.

Did anyone have a mild allergic reaction the first time they took their medication? Did it happen again? Did it get worse? I am really nervous about taking it now.
