Reclast Infusions: Side-effects & Recovery time

Hello, I’m not sure I have it right.. Are you on both Reclast and Forteo at the same time? Your tips about the 45 min infusion & the other two are really interesting…why does a longer infusion time help? I wonder if the doc could first approve this ..rather than confront the tech guy on the day b off…interested in asking for this if I can understand why this helps…Thanks for helping !

Talk to your doctor before the infusion. My first infuse was a nightmare....wound up in the hospital for pain management. Second infusion I talked to doctor ahead of time. He started me on pain meds before the infusion. I requested a 45 min. Infusion instead of the 15 min the time before. It made all the difference. Of course you still need to drink lots of water and take Tylenol in preparation for the infusion. Wishing you all the best ...

sanfo,
Apparently, the longer infusion time is easier on kidneys. I had told the infusion nurse ahead of time that I wanted a longer infusion time. She cheerfully complied.
