I believe McCormick says over 100 for CTX level that is okay for Reclast, but I'll check.

Update on my Reclast experience: I had a 20% "test dose" on 6/12 w/one hour hydration (and self-hydration for day before and day of) before the infusion and the 1 mg was given over 1 hour. My doc is being careful with kidney disease , afib and general sensitivities.

I had a fever for 5 days. Tinnitus got worse. A couple of weeks after the infusion I had pins and needles in hands and feet. I am relieved to say all of these effects were gone by 3 (?) weeks and I am free of side effects at the moment. My kidneys were fine with all that hydration.

I will do another 1- 1.5 mg in September (3 months) and then in another 3 months go up to 2 or 3 mg.

Hi @windyshores

I’m glad your system tolerates Reclast, even if it is after some time. I’m sorry you’ve had some difficulties with the med; we seem to have opposing reactions to OP drugs. My doc reported that the infusion time protocol has been increased to about an hour with hydration before/after and use of acetaminophen for a few days following.

I’ve been fortunate that my Reclast infusions did not cause any issues and I’m hoping that, if approved, the future one(s) won’t either.

Wishing you the best with future infusions.

Cheers!
