What test shows you don’t need RECLAST?
Osteoporosis & Bone Health | Last Active: Jul 24 11:24am | Replies (6)Comment receiving replies
In my case I had 3 Reclast infusions over a 5 year period. They reversed my early osteoporosis enough that I am now osteopenia based on my last DEXA bone density scan. I already take calcium, magnesium, D, etc and lift weights/hike so those help a bit with my 70 yo bones. I'll find out tomorrow what the endocrinologist says about if I need other meds/steps, but probably no more Reclast (I think 3 is the limit).

good luck sounds like you are doing everything right. My understanding was three is the limit when you do the Tymlos (the complementary bone remodeling med). Reclast builds density and Tymlos slows down deterioration. So I do two years of tymlos, one annual reclast infusion for 3 years and then I'm done. That's the current protocol at UC Health. (I did one Reclast last year before they put me on the Tymlos. I stop reclast while doing the tymlos. Otherwise my understanding was I do the reclast every year until they say otherwise.
