why do drs. push reclast

Posted by pookybear01 @pookybear01, Dec 29, 2024

no family history of osteoporosis, but my oncologist is pushing reclast. I refused. I am extremely healthy and I will not take that poison. Proper diet and exercise is my alternative route.

Just wanted to add a positive Reclast review. Generic Fosamax caused severe acid reflux at month 9 of being on it. Switched to Reclast in 9/2024, day after infusion had some heartburn, which went away, Had 20 minute infusion with a lot of water day before and continue to hydrate daily. No other side effects. I like not having to take a pill every week. Had gains on Fosamax, so hoping will continue with Reclast, wt bearing exercise, Calcium through diet and Vit D.🤞

If you’re all healthy why do you need to see an oncologist? Seems like you would have had some oncology dx.
Did you ask why he is recommending you to take Reclast. Seems like we are missing something in the story.

Thank you yes it scares people I refused meds for osteoporosis for years because I thought it was poison and now I had 3 compound fractures in my spine. Now I just got my first Priola shot but was afraid of medication all along. Wish I did it sooner,!!!
