This is from the manufacturer's Medication guide for Reclast.

"How will I receive Reclast?

 Your doctor will tell you how often you will receive Reclast.
 Reclast is given by infusion into your vein (intravenously). Your infusion should last at least 15 minutes.
 Before you receive Reclast, drink at least 2 glasses of fluid (such as water) within a few hours as directed by your doctor.
 You may eat before your treatment with Reclast.
 If you miss a dose of Reclast, call your doctor or healthcare provider to schedule your next dose

also:
Reclast injection must be administered as an intravenous infusion over no less than 15 minutes.

Patients must be appropriately hydrated prior to administration of Reclast [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3)].
Parenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration, whenever solution and container permit.
Intravenous infusion should be followed by a 10 mL normal saline flush of the intravenous line.
Administration of acetaminophen following Reclast administration may reduce the incidence of acute-phase reaction symptoms.
