Is there a class action suit for Boniva?
Yes. There are class action Boniva lawsuits and individual lawsuits for Boniva.
Boniva is in a class of drugs known as bisphosphonates. Boniva is the brand name; ibandronate sodium is its generic name. The word Boniva rolls off the tongue far more easily than ibandronate.
Boniva is a once a month prescription drug tablet prescribed to post-menopausal women to combat osteoporosis. The actress Sally Field is the celebrity face associated with Boniva. Watching her TV commercial is like having a woman-to-woman conversation about bone health. She promotes trust and wellness.
According to the Boniva website, Boniva is clinically proven to not only maintain bone density, but actually works to help reverse bone loss. Nine out of 10 women had improved bone density after one year, according to clinical studies.
Like most prescription drugs especially bisphosphonates, Boniva is not without serious side effects. The most serious side effects are chest pain, trouble or pain swallowing, stomach ulcers, very bad/ongoing heartburn, and severe joint/muscle pain.
Bisphosphonates are also associated with serious jaw problems known as jawbone death or necrosis. Dental surgery becomes a problem with necrosis because of infection and delayed healing.
If you or a loved one has suffered serious side effects from taking Boniva or Fosamax, please contact the unsafe drug law firm, Anapol Schwartz, to find out what legal options you have including a Fosamax lawsuit.
