Reclast Appointment Cancelled Morning of Appointment!

@sunnyflower What my hygienist told me, and I am quite sure she had been told this by the dentist, was that the problems last as long as the drug. For instance, if you are taking Reclast you can't have surgery until the year is over. If you are taking a shorter-lived drug then you don't have to wait as long.
I can't swear to all of that, but that is what I was told and it is a pretty good practice.

Hello JK, @fiesty76 and @lioness, yes, for some who do have the unwanted side-effects, they can possibly remain until the drug clears the body and as you know, some of the bisphosphonates last 1 to 3 to 6 to 12 months!! I made a mistake when I said it was Alendronate (every 3 months) that can stay in the body for decades but it's Boniva aka Ibandronate. I have no idea how to find the conversation/s I said that in to correct that. Thanks for sharing, warm regards, Sunny PS: If any of you think of it, and know how I can correct my mistake, please let me know and/or please spread the word if you are comfortable doing that and find the right post. Thanks!!!!
