Are you taking Reclast for osteoporosis?
Osteoporosis & Bone Health | Last Active: Feb 14 5:27am | Replies (267)Comment receiving replies
My doctor wants to put me on the once a year Reclast Infusion for my bones. Questions:
1. Has anyone been on it for several years and if so has there been any improvement of your bones!
2. Required treatment is 15 minute infusion & 10 minutes rinse but I’ve heard if you go to a longer infusion time you’ll have less bone pain. Can anyone confirm this and if you were able to extend the time of infusion how did you accomplish that? Through doctor and pharmacist? Thanks for any help.

My first infusion ran about 50 minutes, so for the 2nd and third infusion,I asked the nurse to run it the same.

Hi exaustef, welcome. You're asking great questions as you consider starting Reclast. I moved your message to this discussion where @bonnieh218 @becsbuddy @julie2020 @fiesty76 @felicitypevancy @grazia99 and others are sharing their experiences with Reclast and osteoporosis, and may be able to answer your questions.
As you wait for responses, I also suggest reading through the past posts.
Exaustef, have you been on other medications for osteoporosis? Did your doctor suggest a longer infusion time?
