Yes, if your doctor tells you that it’s safe, you can use pain medication while taking Boniva. However, taking Boniva tablets with aspirin or other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can increase your risk for an upset stomach. (Aspirin and other NSAIDs are used to treat pain.) For more information, see the “Boniva interactions” section below.
If you experience pain while taking Boniva, talk with your doctor. They can advise you on which treatments may help.
