Reclast prep questions

Posted by friend123 @friend123, Aug 8 9:18am

I will be having my first injection next week. I am interested in what would be the best way to prepare. How much water to drink the day before and how much Tylenol to take? Also is Advil ok to take instead of Tylenol?
Thank you!

I have had two Reclast infusions. I was advised to drink minimum of 16 ounces of water 2 hours previous and take a Tylenol. My first infusion I did have some flu like symptoms, but they only lasted for about 6 hours. The second infusion I did not have any side effects. Drink water before and after and take Tylenol. Water is the key especially since your kidneys need to clear the Reclast. I have been diagnosed with CKD and I have been able to tolerate the Reclast. I hope everything goes well for you.

Hi Everyone,
I had my first in Reclast fusion yesterday. I followed everyone’s terrific advice, hydration and Tylenol. I feel great today so far. My only concern is that I woke up with heart palpitations. I did leave a message with my doctor. I also wanted to thank folks for coaching me through this journey.
