Hello Rubyjazz

We have some information on our website here about ibandronic acid which may help answer some of your questions. 

It's important to remember that whilst some side effects are common not everyone will have the same experience with the medication. 

Should your Mum find that she does develop some unpleasant side effects then do encourage her to speak to her Consultant who will be able to discuss options for managing things or other possible options. 

Hopefully some of the ladies here on the forum who have taken this drug will post to share their experiences but if you'd like to talk things through with one of our nurses then do give them a call on 0808 800 4040 (Mon-Fri 9am-5pm). 

Best wishes,
