I am terrified at the thought of putting in a year's dose of drug into my body through infusion. Also, for Reclast to be effective as a relay drug, the correct timing would have to be determined with the help of bone turnover markers which my doctor is not willing or unable to order. For these reasons, i decided on Alendronate instead. If it's true that Reclast stays in the body for only 2 years, that's a huge plus. I have read that Alendronate can remain for years, even decades after
