Lying down right after taking Boniva tablets can prevent you from swallowing the tablet completely. If this happens, Boniva may stay in your esophagus and lead to problems such as ulcers or inflammation. (For more information about this side effect, see the “Boniva side effects” section above.)
If you have questions about the best way to take Boniva tablets, see the “How to take Boniva” section above. You can also talk with your doctor or pharmacist.
