reclast or ?

I've had the Reclast infusion annually for the last 4 years. No side effects. Best of luck!

An option is to request a reduced doseage. In osteoporosis we are faced all too often with a one-size-fits-all mentality. There is some evidence that even a 1 mg dose could be very effective.

I took the lower dose which is Zometa. That’s 4 mgm of reclast. I did fine. I’m 83 with osteopenia but long term steroids a risk factor.

I am also 83 but I have osteoporosis. I am scheduled for early next week and hoping I come out ok. thank you for your reply.

I just had my Reclast infusion yesterday and so far feeling good. I know that we all experience these drugs differently.

So far everyone I know personally has no problems with reclast.

Thoroughly review the side effects. I took the infusion. Side effects were discussed prior to my injection, but they were glossed over. Oh, most do not have them. Maybe a little flue like symptoms within a couple of days. A few weeks later I woke up. Sat up and the room was spinning. Still happens. Also added dizziness when I move my head back to look up, get something from a high place.

I’m wondering if that would be a good option to start with and see what side effects there are.

I know what that feels like. It is very scary! Thank you for telling me. Hope uou feel better very soon.

Last month, I posted my terrible problem with Reclast, but don’t see how one can easily access that now. So, I’ll tell you what happened to me here.
Briefly, I felt awful for several weeks after the first infusion last year, but then recovered. But then the day after the second infusion at the end of March this year, I developed tinnitus, which has increased and, according to my audiologist, is permanent. Even more upsetting, within 4months of the infusion, I had developed 10% across the board hearing loss in my right ear and 5% loss in the left ear and profound high frequency loss in both ears. Prior to this, my hearing was fine. My hearing is now being monitored regularly and we don’t know if the losses will continue.
I will never again take a “preventative” infused medication that cannot be discontinued.
