I heard many people talking of menopausal but now I just heard of post menopausal. What is post menopausal?? After her menopause, my mother has gone to the doctor and she has been told that she suffering for post menopausal osteoporosis. It is sort of bones deficiency. Can it be dangerous to her health? She has been told to take boniva that is also generically called Ibandronate which can treat this illness. My mother wants to have more information on that medication. Is it an effective medication?? Can I have some real feed back with people who has ever use this medication??
