Right- I keep reading about the very long half life of Reclast- that it stays in your body virtually forever.
I read one explanation that as it’s deposited in your bones, the osteoclasts do their thing ( breaking down bone) thus releasing the Reclast.
So I’m wondering why we’re advised to take it every year for 3-5 years???

I also read another study that said a half dose, as well as every 18-24 months is as effective as usual administration.

* I’d post a link but the studies don’t allow it somehow. If interested I can try to post that.

@leslie2121 I have also read a half dose is just as effective. My doc is nervous about me and is giving me a 20% dose when I finish Tymlos next month. After 3 months I am supposed to call to tell him what dose I want next. Full dose is 5mg so he is giving me 1mg.
