Guest guest Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 The ingredients don't worry me as much as the caution that Boniva may cause serious stomach and esophagus problems. The possible side- effects to the mouth and digestive tract aren't reassuring. But if your friend has already been on it for a while, then she should stay on it until she's talked with her doctor and discussed alternatives. The inactive ingredients which you listed are probably in small amounts, but could do some long-term damage. If it were me, being on SCD, I'd ask about alternatives or whether I can get it compounded to avoid the inactive ingredients. Kim M.
