Does anyone have a solution to help manage Reclast side effects?
Osteoporosis & Bone Health | Last Active: 1 day ago | Replies (707)Comment receiving replies
I have had significant hearing loss in both ears, now 6 months after the infusion, plus increasingly shrill and loud tinnitus that started the day after the infusion. My audiologist is telling me that Reclast can be “ototoxic” and that tinnitus is likely permanent and the hearing loss may be progressive. I am extremely upset especially after reading the terrible other “side effects” others have experienced. This is just ok.

susansantafe,
I am so sorry you have had such bad problems with your hearing. I too had the onset of doubling of my pre existing tinnitus after the Reclast infusion. My tinnitus is so loud that it really disturbs me all day long. It started just after the infusion and is still with me 11 months later. I could not find anything online about Reclast causing tinnitus. I do not think there have been any follow up studies after the release of Reclast for use in the general public. Therefore all the providers depend on the initial studies during the FDA trials for possible side effects from the drug. We are missing all the side effects that would have been unmasked with world wide use of the drug with significantly larger population numbers to study. It is interesting that your audiologist knew about the ototoxicity of Reclast. I also have had unrelenting pseudogout of my right knee for 11 months. It is quite painful and has limited my everyday activities. I will never use Reclast again.
