The “black and white” I was referring to was an earlier post by @debis67 who said her doc wouldn’t prescribe a smaller dose unless the doc saw it in black and white. I thought it best for her to find the black and white (which you provided) to the doc and go from there.

Although I strongly believe in being one’s own advocate, especially in a medical situation, I still feel it would be ill-advised to have the Reclast infusion needle in one’s arm, begin the infusion and then tell the nurse, “It’s about halfway finished and I’ve changed my mind about this or I’ve had enough . . . stop the infusion!” It goes without saying that we need to make the most informed decisions about our healthcare.

Some posters may remember that I switched docs because I felt like I was being railroaded into taking Prolia. I am not a fan of any of these drugs, but they are a lifeline in our fight. Perhaps @debis67 can use the information you provided here to secure a lower dose of Reclast.

Peace Out! Happy Weekend All!

The reason I’m wanting half dose Reclast because I am very sensitive to meds and I want to see how my body will react to it. I feel that 5mg. is too much seeing that I had only 1 Prolia and Reclast is a Potent med.
