Yikes, immediately might be difficult. Amgen website says Prolia one month +/- 7 days, so I assumed Reclast was the same.

Infusion center likely needs to get insurance approval, but I’ll push them to get me in ASAP.

I have some bloodwork to do prior to infusion.

Reclast protocol:
1. Reclast injection must be administered as an intravenous infusion over no less than 15 minutes. I’ll ask them to do a SLOW infusion. Thank you for the suggestion.
2. Intravenous infusion should be followed by a 10 mL normal saline flush of the intravenous line.
3. Somewhere I read ‘infuse 0.9% sodium chloride at 500 mL/he for 15 minutes’ prior AND after infusion. This seems to be equivalent to 8 ounces of fluid prior and after infusion.

Not sure if I can make it through Good Bones, as this is happening quickly. I did watch a lecture you posted with a Mass General (?) physician. This led me away from Prolia due to consequences of discontinuation - FREEDOM study & vertebral fractures.

Thanks so much for the wealth of knowledge you have shared with me and others.
