I do not take Boniva.. I just had problems with Sally Field. I got tired of her ad that talked about her friend who was upset because she could not remember when to take her meds.
I contacted Boniva and told them the Ad was a bit out there.. most people have to take more than one medication and have to consider multiple times, multiple pills for multiple medical issues.
I for one would love to have only one pill to take once a month, but that is not my reality.
Low and behold, within about six weeks, I noticed Boniva had taken the earlier ad off and Sally Field is now talking a sensible story line for the Boniva campaign! Did something I say really make a difference? LOL

I took Boniva until I lost my Insurance. I didn't really notice any improvement with this drug. It's also a very expensive drug...over $200 a month.

Just can't afford it.
