Boniva (Ibandronate Sodium) is used to treat or prevent osteoporosis in women after menopause. Osteoporosis causes bones to become thinner and break more easily. Ibandronate Sodium belongs to a class of medications called bisphosphonates. This medication works by slowing bone loss to help maintain strong bones and reduce the risk of broken bones (fractures).
