About BONIVA

Boniva is a medication aligned to the HCPCS J Code: J1740 for billing, pricing, and reimbursement purposes in the United States. This Oncology medication is administered via the intravenous route and manufactured by multiple companies.

According to CMS Drug Use Information: Ibandronate is used to prevent and treat certain types of bone loss (osteoporosis). Osteoporosis causes bones to become thinner and break more easily. Your chance of developing osteoporosis increases after menopause, as you age, or if you take corticosteroid medications (such as prednisone) for long periods. This medication works by slowing bone loss to help maintain strong bones and reduce the risk of broken bones (fractures). Ibandronate belongs to a class of medications called bisphosphonates.
