I haven’t… My dad (with PMR) takes alendronate tablets once a week, and despite all the warnings he tolerates it fine, no problems. His rheumatologist brought up different options, including Reclast, but he doesn’t have osteoporosis, so it wasn’t as urgent.

Hopefully you might hear from others who’ve tried Reclast. But if you’re not comfortable with it, do you think you could talk to your rheumatologist about other options that might be a fit? I remember besides alendronate and Reclast, an injection was an option. Just looked it up and it was Prolia.

Thanks for your reply. I can’t take alendronate as I have GERD, but I’ll talk to my doctor.
