IV Boniva
April 28, 2011 @ 6:00 am
IV Boniva is the same medication (Ibandronate) as regular Boniva. Because it is given as a shot into a vein (IV) it has no heartburn, GERD, esophagus or stomach issues. This makes it an antiresorptive which can be used if you have GERD.
It takes less than a minute to give IV Boniva in the office with a total stay of about 15 minutes.
