I am scheduled to begin annual Reclast infusions in February when I will be done with Evenity.

My friend just had a Reclast infusion and now has sores on her face and her mouth and nose. She too was okay for a day and then it hit her.
She also thought she had a cold but now discovered it is another rare side effect.

I am now very concerned about Reclast.
Dose anyone have any experience with Reclast?

@clowny I was very lucky to have a good experience with my Reclast infusion. But I followed advice on here and from my doctor to the letter...start hydrating extremely well two days before, the day of, and two days after. Take Tylenol and an antihistamine as well. These things all help with what is called an acute phase reaction. Be sure you ask for a 45 minute infusion with a "saline push", I think they call it and a flush afterward. But everyone is different, and other health issues could impact your reaction, I would guess. Good luck to you!

@clowny got my first Reclast infusion last week. No side effects at all. I'm 84
