BONIVA Injection

A non-oral treatment option

If you’re a woman diagnosed with osteoporosis, you know treatment is important. But you may be like other women who have difficulty taking tablets. Non-oral BONIVA Injection may be just the right treatment for you.

BONIVA Injection—administered by a healthcare professional just four times a year—does not have the same dosing guidelines of an oral bisphosphonate, which require taking the pill with plain water on an empty stomach upon rising in the morning, and remaining upright and avoiding food, drink (except plain water) and other medications for at least 30 minutes after taking the pill. Just one BONIVA Injection treatment every three months, provides continuous bone protection because it binds with and stays in your bones.

How to receive BONIVA Injection
  • Visit your doctor’s office.
  • A healthcare professional will give you your BONIVA Injection. Do not administer BONIVA Injection to yourself.
  • The injection itself takes about 30 seconds.
  • Your healthcare professional will check your kidneys before giving each injection.
After that, you’re set for the next 3 months. You don’t have to worry about taking it on an empty stomach or staying upright.

BONIVA Injection is from the makers of BONIVA Tablets so you get the same BONIVA protection for your bones that people who take the oral treatment receive. Like the tablet, BONIVA Injection not only maintains bone density, it actually builds your bones to help reduce fractures. With BONIVA Injection, you can feel confident your osteoporosis is being treated effectively.
