← Return to Zoledronic Acid (Reclast) can I have just one infusion?

I've had 3 reclast infusions (2019, 2021, 2023). I was sick for several days after the first, mostly fatigue and joint pain, and 1.5 days for the last two. Those were the only reactions. My osteoporosis was not severe, but it did reverse/stop bone loss. I also do weights and other resistance exercises and take calcium and magnesium citrate. A friend has been on reclast pills for a few years for fairly severe osteoporosis; negative effect is mainly loss of smell and taste. I'd rather be sick for a few days then take pills (the infusion lasts for more than a year at resorbing calcium into bones).

Thanks for weighing and super happy to hear your side effects so manageable. I guess I'm worried that the fatigue would linger - I've never heard that loss of smell/taste is a side effect.

Hi Kay,
I also have had several Reclast infusions with no side effects. If you want to call fatigued for a day as a side effect, I experienced that.

I am curious as to the dosage of calcium and magnesium citrate you take. I have hypothyroidism and was told not to worry about calcium supplements but I did not get a straight answer from my endocrinologist. Next visit, I will ask again.

Feel good!
