Do not take this drug until they develop a test to determine if you will have the bad side effects. After injection woke up in early morning hours vomiting and heaving hard enough to tear stitches in my esophagus from and exploratory procedure done two years ago. Thought I was dying. Next five days fever of over 102 every bone especially the joints extremely painful could not make it to the bathroom by myself pain was excruciating, trouble breathing when standing. I could not leave my home for six weeks because of every side effect listed showing its ugly head. I thought I was dying. At the three month mark I could finally start exercising again and my energy is pretty much back to normal. Went to the dentist today and now have a huge dental problem that will cost me $10,000 to fix...thanks to Reclast. Before consenting to take this drug make sure you get a second and even a third opinion. Don’t rely on your primary cares knowledge.

I don't know about effectiveness, but this has been a very difficult drug for me to take. I usually do not have problems with med side effects but I won't take this medication again. I had my infusion 2 and a half weeks ago. I'm still tired, headachey and nauseated. I have no idea how long this will last, I hope I recover my former active, healthy life. Proceed with caution.

My doctor highly recommended reclast infusion. I looked up who shouldn't take it & I had 4 of the pre existing listed. Doctor knew but never informed me of the serious side effects.I believed her! It was done August 2020. Two weeks later,I started having serious problems.For the past 3 months reclast infusion has destroyed my health. I'm 60 yrs. old & my health has never been this bad not to mention the pain that never ends. I'm being slowly poisoned to death,white blood cells-High/red blood cells-Low/weight loss 110 lbs.- 90 lbs.And doctor could care less.Have to have a gastro. procedure in 2 weeks.That poison took 30 min. for infusion. You all go right ahead & have it done,as for me if I survive this I'll never believe another doctor.But I feel like I'm dying.I told my family to sue my doctor & file class action suit.They have been watching my health being destroyed & are mad as hell.

Was given protocol to drink 60 ounces water a day and take 2 Tylenol 2x a day for the day before, day of and 2 days after. Infusion easy. Nurse did SLOW infusion... Felt fine. 24-26 hours later minor aches, joint pain and fever (100.4) for about 12 hours. Tylenol gave great relief. Now Saturday morning. No fever and feeling almost 100% w/o tylenol. Nurse says next infusion side effect slim to none. If this treatment is effective then definitely this is no big deal.... Just block off next day to rest on couch and binge watch something good. Felt like I had done a very tough workout. So no big deal.... also, very very slight headache... For me, it was exactly as they described the possible side effects (so far but feeling confident).
