@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!
