ReClast: Warning and Dosage Variation

Posted by njhornung @normahorn, Jan 22 6:11pm

I was trying to find information regarding any options of taking different dosage amounts in place of the one-size-fits-all recommended dosage. I spotted something that I cannot find now. However, I came across this warning:

Conclusion
It is important that the potential patients receive sufficient information about the possibility of side-effects following the administration of intravenous zoledronic acid. To ensure that a zoledronic acid infusion is given as safely as possible, the safety information should include that the patient should not be left without monitoring for a minimum 24 hours after the infusion. Being alone and experiencing serious side-effects may lead to acute cardiac problems.

Thank you so much. I am thinking I need to get a second opinion at the Boston hospital I often go to for osteo and dermatology issues rather than this local rheumatologist. Even if it means delaying the treatment. I do low doses with other immunizations as well. Thank you so much.
