Boniva vs. Fosamax, comparable doses?

Question  If once a month  Boniva is 150 mg  how can it be comparable to Fosamax, which is approximately  70mg  a week,I believe.70 mg times 4 or 5 weeks =   280/350 mg?
 
Answer   Different drugs have different strengths.  Some drugs are more powerful and thus lower mg amounts can be used.  Both Fosamax and Boniva are similarly effective for osteoporosis.
