Zometa infusions to help prevent bone loss from cancer treatments

My only instructions were to have labs the prior week and take Tylenol 1 hour prior to infusion. I had trouble with my second infusion, i.e. started to pass out, and they had the IV drip go slower on subsequent ones which negated that problem. Five down and one to go now! Just be sure that any dental procedures you need to have done are finished and healed prior to the infusion. Best of luck to you.

@trixie1313 Thanks. I’ll call my oncologist’s office to see what’s up with the Claritin suggestion. I’m hoping for a problem-free infusion. Usually I handle any and all medical procedures/anesthesias/medications etc. with minimal side effects, so I hope that holds true. And yes, I had extra dental x-rays taken and anything that needed fixing (minor) has been fixed. Nothing looming, according to my dentist of 35 years.
