Let me add another non scary Reclast post. In December '23 I had a reclast infusion and because I had a friend in Ohio who had one the week before me, I was aware of the importance of being hydrated, taking 1000mg of acetemiocine and even a Claritin before hand. Neither my endocrinologist at the time or the infusion center mentioned this.
So well prepared I had the infusion, continued to drink water and and rest for the rest of the day. I experienced zero side effects. Then in December '24 I had another scan and saw great improvement in my spine; not so much at hip level. That said, the hospital where my previous 5 scans were taken, upgraded and the new system which included TBS might not be correlate well to the previous scans. Hope to have something to compare with at this year's scan.

how much beforehand did you start taking the tylenol and claritin. The day of or a couple days before?

Thank you for your clarification, I’ve had my 4th Reclast last November. I was never made aware of the water excess and Claritin you need to take with that other drug you mentioned.
I have osteoporosis and osteopenia. In four years I have broken 3 ribs on my left side just by banging them on my cat’s scratching post
And 2 ribs on my right side as of this week.in rehab right now with a fall walking in Rehab, waiting for foot X-ray.
Teeth problems as of right now, that Cannot be pulled because of Reclast
My first break was my foot when I was in my 20’s.
Any good suggestions ? Thank you!!!!
