Zometa infusions to help prevent bone loss from cancer treatments

I had my first Zometa infusion in August of this year. Really no instructions other than hydrate. I’ll ask my oncologist about Claritin & Tylenol. I was fine after infusion. Felt no different. No side effects. I will do infusions every 6 months.
Just a question: do you think that side effects occur due to the speed of the infusion. My infusion started w/ a liquid/saline (???) for about 20-30 minutes snd then they put the Zometa bag on. I have no basis of procedure as this was my first.

Yes! I would get flu like sickness after and my oncologist had them slow the drip down to over 65 minutes instead of 30 and it made a world of difference. No SE at all after that.
