Have you had any side effects using Boniva?

My Dr has suggested I take Boniva !
I am currently being treated for GCA with prednisone and am worried about implications, interactions etc.!

Anyone with similar experience ?
Thank you .

I currently take Boniva with no side effects. I also the other medications and no problems. You could also ask your doctor, or your pharmacist. They are pretty knowledgeable. Hope this helps.

I'd like to invite @sophie93, @carolann01 and @oceanblues123 to this discussion to share their experiences with Boniva and some side-effects, if they had any.

I just finished a three-year stint on Boniva. I didn’t always have a reaction, but when I did it was pretty unpleasant. Sometimes I’d become very achy and even feverish overnight after taking it. I got in the habit of taking a couple of Tylenol before going to bed the night after taking the Boniva, and that seemed to do the trick.
