@gigi05 What would you like to know? It is Zolodronic Acid, IV infusion that takes about 30 minutes. It is one of those drugs that is associated with jaw fractures. I could swear my primary dr said it wasn't one of those when I started it 2 years ago. I haven't had any reactions or side effects that I was conscious of. But have realized my issues with swallowing and GERD started about the same time I started the Zolodronic.

@kc7adk54 Thank you for sharing this. And sorry you had to undergo that. I was just curious, as I had not heard about infusions for osteoporosis. I used to take a bone formula tablet, then stopped that bc I was concerned about calcium getting deposited in arteries (eventhough I was also taking vit K with it), and now looking into taking some supplements again in addition to making sure I am getting enough calcium from my diet as my latest bone density test revealed I had osteopenia.
