tylenol and boniva are safe to take together or at different intervals throughout the day. however there are a few medications you should not take or should alter the time you take the doses while taking boniva. aspirin/nsaids can easily without one knowing damage the gastrointestinal (gi) tract causing irritation and possible bleeding. boniva is also very irritating to the gi system. therefore to reduce the irritation to the gi the medications should not be used adjunctively. remember there are over-the-counter nsaids as well as prescription nsaids. if an nsaid medication is required for another indication than fever timing is important. spread out the dose of boniva from the nsaid. remember to take boniva on an empty stomach and the nsaid with food even if you do not feel stomach irritation. work with your pharmacist and/or health care provider about timing and evaluating whether both medications should be maintenance therapy. boniva has a drug interaction with calcium supplements and antacids. these products can decrease the absorption of boniva decreasing the effects of the medication. it is not that you cannot take these products but rather about the timing. take boniva 60 minutes on an empty stomach prior to taking any calcium supplements and antacids.
