Hi. I was a bit tired and felt a little flu-ish for a couple of days after my Reclast infusion in August 2021 and then tired the following week but I had no other side effects. I did opt for a 45-minute infusion time rather than 20 minutes and I hydrated with lots of
Water before and especially after the procedure because I was told it is hard on the kidneys. I am a plant based eater, 64 years old, 122 pounds and 5’7” inches tall and pretty active (weight training and swimming and I ran before breaking my hip when I tripped over my dog while training for a half marathon). My endocrinologist considered this an osteoporosis fracture because the hip would not have broken from a fall from a standing position if my bones had not been osteoporotic. I was really afraid to do this infusion because of the bad reviews here but the nurse told me that 75% of their patients experience no adverse effects at all and others mostly minor side effects and she was speaking from a decade of experience. This was my 12th bone break and the effect on my life of all of these fractures has been worse than the side effects of the Reclast by far. If you have any other questions I’m happy to respond.
