← Return to Reclast Infusions: Side-effects & Recovery time

Just want to be clear that my 4 days of fever were a fairly common, short-term result of Reclast and not really a longer term "side effect" for most of us. I am sorry for anyone having longer problems (and I do not know yet if I among those who do).

I read that 60% of people taking Reclast don't have the few days of fever/fluishness and if IV hydration and slow infusion with tylenol are used, one doctor wrote that < 1% do. I know many women who had no reaction at all.

We'll see what happens for me. I want to be able to share but I don't want to discourage anyone from taking it. I feel like we don't have much choice after the other drugs, all of which will have rebound without a bisphosphonate. I could not tolerate an oral and actually found my 20% 1mg dose fairly tolerable.. I repeat in 3 months, then in another 3 months do 2 or 3 mg and so on, gradually increasing.

I am so so sorry to hear that you had terrible side effects from your Reclast infusion. I have had Reclast infusions for the past 6 years and the only side effect I felt was fatigue for the first day. I am either lucky or wonder why you found your dosage intolerable. Did the doctor ever explain why?

Best wishes for feeling better!
