I see that many people suggest a slower infusion , but the hospital where I will get my infusion says they do 15 minutes. The endo says that is the norm and she can't change it. Welcome any suggestions for providing evidence to slow it down.

@aspirecreative 15 minutes is the absolute minimum for a Reclast infusion. My doctor ordered a 30 minute infusion, but we had discussed 45 minutes because I am so small. When I got to the infusion center at the hospital, the nurse said she was putting in 30 minutes, and I shared with her my discussion with the endo regarding 45 minutes. She replied, "No problem, let me change it real quick." I truly believe that 15 minutes is part of the issue with people having so many bad reactions to the infusion. That and not prepping correctly. I passed on 3 different infusion centers because they wanted to do 15 minute infusions and pass patients through like cattle. So thankful the hospital I went to used common sense. Good luck to you!
