You might remind your doctor that you have the right to limit what goes into your body. You could always tell the technician to stop the infusion when you are half-way through it. And stop means stop, Much better to plan on getting only half a dose but the other option is available.

How can one determine when they are “half way through” with the infusion; it also includes saline? Does anyone know why 5mg vs 2, 3, or 4 is indicated? Reclast has been around for quite awhile now and, as far as I know, the same dosage has been prescribed for every infusion I’ve had (since 2011).
Talk to your doc, find out if there are any other solutions, and find out the “black and white” of Reclast. Is there any research that answers the question of whether or not a smaller dose of Reclast is effective and how to determine the amount that has been infused (especially based on the patient saying, “Stop, I’ve had enough!”)
Best wishes to you as you work your way through this dilemma. Cheers! Go Penn State!
