ReClast: Warning and Dosage Variation

I am having a 20% dose (1 mg). One of my docs says they do this a lot. My reduced dose is because of kidney issues, afib, and sensitivity to meds. The advice for all doses is to hydrate well (I requested IV hydration), ask for a slow infusion (up to an hour) and take tylenol before, during and after. Another thing: a 2.5mg half dose may be as effective as the full 5mg: my doc confirmed this as well.

I this works well for you. How many times will you need to go in to Boston to get the smaller injections?

windyshores, thank you very much. I had 10 years Prolia, then in August 2023 Reclast. I survived but 2 weeks I was in bed with horrible pain. I have many problems with health. Then in November I broke a bone in my hand and there is no another choice, only Reclast. CTX is 678 now, 3 months ago CTX was 454. We live now in Florida, in a small town, when I came to the endocrinologist for the second opinion, she was impressed and asked me to copy all material that I brought to this appointment. I wrote this to explain that in our town I can not find an endocrinologist who has experience with stopping Prolia. You wrote that one of you doc says that they do reduced dose often and I read before in one your comment about this and asked the same dose when I had a second opinion visit and this endocrinologist agreed to do so.
Again thank you so much.
Good health and good luck in everything.
