Reclast and Tinnitus

Posted by barjcas @barjcas, Jun 7, 2023

Hello, I had a Reclast infusion and 24 hours later I started with Tinnitus. Has anyone else had the same experience?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Osteoporosis & Bone Health Support Group.

This is an older thread but just chiming in that after my first Reclast infusion at 20% dose, IV hydration and extremely slow infusion of the med, my tinnitus is still a lot louder the day after. I also have a headache, stomach pain, hot flashes, I'll post if the tinnitus goes back down. I doubt doctors will take this effect seriously but I do.

I received Reclast almost 2 weeks ago. Within a day after, I have a loud noise in my ears. I’ve seen an ENT, he has me taking prednisone for a week. Not helping so far. Does anyone have advice if you’ve experienced this? Success stories of it stopping? I am scared of ever doing it again at expense of my hearing.

My tinnitus got worse after a low dose of Reclast but it went back to baseline in a few weeks. Your baseline is no tinnitus so I hope it goes away for you.

How much prednisone are you taking?

I have been told tinnitus is coming from the brain and there is no cure. But I have noticed that congestion, noise and other factors do make it temporarily worse.

I have become accustomed to my tinnitus and don't notice it until writing in a thread about tinnitus !

Keep us posted. This is an important issue for some of us!

Hi
My tinnitus was very low until my 3rd reclast infusion. It's been a nightmare also getting vertigo. I will not do this drug again
