Bonica is the trade name for Ibandronate, which is one of a class of drugs called bisphosphonate. Ibandronate (Boniva) is an oral medication that is used to treat osteoporosis. It can also be used to prevent the disease. It does not reverse osteoporosis. Ibandronate can be taken daily, and is the only oral biphosphonate that is approved by the FDA to be taken monthly.
