Questions about Reclast for osteoporosis.

Posted by phoebejo @phoebejo, Apr 16, 2016

My endocrinologist has recently recommended Reclast for my osteoporosis. I have TMJD and also type 2 diabetes which I believe puts me at greater risk for a heart condition. My research indicates that side effects of Reclast can do damage to the heart (atrial fibrillation) and bone disfuregurement in the jaw. I. Would like to know when Reclast was introduced and the efficacy stated in percentages. I have seen information that indicates fatal outcomes for small numbers but nothing to compare that too in terms of successful treatment.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Osteoporosis & Bone Health Support Group.

Hi @phoebejo, and welcome to Connect. I found some information on Reclast from Mayo Clinic that I think you may find helpful (http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/osteoporosis/in-depth/osteoporosis-treatment/art-20046869).

I'm tagging @pkd1 and @nancymc, as these two members have shared their experiences with Reclast.

Is there a specific reason your doctor recommended Reclast? How is your current treatment plan going?

I have had Reclast infusion for 2 years in August. Now I have a failed root canal and swelling in the cheek. I need to have the tooth removed. Is there a protocol for that?
