Anyone had ear problems after Reclast?

Posted by margee3 @margee3, Jan 24 4:57pm

Hi,
I took one infusion of Reclast 6 months ago and I am still having ear side effects. I have Ménière’s Disease in my right ear and was very concerned about side effects since it does mention ear congestion as one of many side effects. my doctor said it would not affect my ear. I followed the instructions before and after the infusion. After 5 days I started to hear low voices in my right ear 24/7 for three weeks. It’s called auditory hallucinations. Finally stopped, but now I have hyperacusis in my right ear and tinnitus in my left ear, which was normal. If you have any kind of ear problems do not take Reclast.

@susansantafe I had pre existing tinnitus prior to the Reclast infusion. Afterwards my tinnitus doubled and now is quite loud and is very bothersome. I am 13 months out from the infusion and the tinnitus has not lessened. My hearing acuity is about the same as prior to the infusion.
I have also have had 13 months of pseudogout in my right knee which is quite bad.

@cccs My tinnitus got worse, double also. It has been 1 year since and I am scheduled for next week (2nd). My endocrinologist never said anything about ear problems, but with TMJ, I don’t know if the Reclast or my TMJ is causing the worsening. I do not like trying to blame everything on Reclast but will look for study results with tinnitus mentioned.
