HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Boniviva is in the class of medication called bisphosphonates. They are used to prevent the loss of bone mass (slow done bone thinning) and therefore reduce the risk of minor or major fractures.
There are other bisphonates that may agree with you such as fosamax, reclast/zometa, actonel, denosumab.
You can consider trying one of these options to see if you can tolerate one of them.
I hope this helps
