I really feel that the slower infusion and hydration are important and
Yes !
my allergist did recommend that I take Claritin, Pepcid, and Zyrtec the day before, the day of and the day after the infusion. I consulted my allergist because I had such a severe reaction to the Prolia. I did not mention these medications in my earlier post because I did not know if it was OK to recommend this "Pre-treatment" for Reclast. I would only do this if my doctor told me to. I trust my allergist and I was looking for all the help I could get. Now I have to try to gather all the wisdom that I can about when to take the next recommended Booster. My doctors told me to just wait six weeks after the 2nd injection of Prolia to get the last Booster and clearly this was not long enough. The Booster and the Prolia symptoms were exacerbated to the point of severe joint, bone and muscle pain. All of my symptoms from the Prolia became more severe after I had the Booster. I share my experiences to try to be helpful, but please be sure to get approval from your doctor's about the best course for you. If anyone has information about how long one should wait to get the Booster(when they had severe reactions with a previous Booster) please let me know. Interestingly, I had no problem with the First two Pfizer vaccinations. Thank you !
