User Reviews for Reclast intravenous

I got my first infusion two days ago. The infusion was uneventful and the rest of the day I was sluggish but not too bad. Next morning I have horrible pain throughout my whole body could barely move. Felt like I broke every bone. Then the chest pain and shortness of breath set in. Ended up in er cause they thought I was having a heart attack. I had sinus tachycardia and high blood pressure. After ruling out everything. They said the medicine stressed my heart out and pumped me full of fluids and gave me meds to normalize everything. I don’t see myself doing this medicine again if these are the side effects I will face. Read More Read Less

I had a Reclast Infusion in Sept 2023. After reading reviews I almost did not take it. There were 3 positive reviews & had the same suggestions as my physician. 1. Hydrate (2 days prior I started drinking lots of water), 2. Started claritin 2 days prior & 3. Tylenol the day of infusion every 6 hours. I continued this for 3 days after infusion. The day of infusion I felt fine. No problems with the 15 minute infusion. Went to work the next day & was fine. About 10:30p I started having flu symptoms: body aches & tired. Slept all night & woke up fine. I feel better & have noticed I have less hair falling out when I wash my hair & nails are stronger. Thankful that I saw the 3 positive reviews & have great trust in my physician! Hope this helps you when making your decision. With Gratitude!Read More Read Less

I had my second infusion two weeks ago today, and I have had diarrhea every single day since. I had very few side effects with first infusion. Has anyone had issues with diarrhea after infusion?

I had taken Prolia in the past without any issues. I switched to Reclast Infusion due to scheduling ease. What a mistake! I was not forewarned to drink water, to take Claritin and Tylenol. The infusion itself was uneventful. I worked all day and fell asleep on the couch watching tv at night. I then started to have chills, weakness and pain. It hurt so much to move I could barely get off the couch. Eventually the chest pain was so severe I went to the ER - I was in sinus tachycardia. My labs were showing an acute inflammatory reaction. They ruled out a heart attack and pulmonary embolism. The ER doctor thought my symptoms may be due to GERD! How do they get medical licenses! He discharged me without helping me in any way. The next day, my PCP told my to take high dose Tylenol and he started me on corticosteroids. The steroids made all the difference in turning this around. It’s still too early to tell how long these side effects will last. Never again for me!Read More Read Less

I took reclast injections for 1 year and then had an infusion. During that time I began to have trouble with my teeth. The doctor assured me that it wasn’t the medication causing the problem, however since that time I have had to get 5 teeth removed. Of the 5 teeth 4 root canals failed and needed to be removed today I need to go back to an oral surgeon to get another tooth extracted. I would never take this medication again!

After reading many of these reviews , I was ver skeptical about taking the infusion. My doctor highly encouraged me to do it reminding me to be wary of on line reviews. I did take many of the recommendations into consideration and hydrated a TON before , during and 2 days after the infusion. I also had been taking Allegra daily before and after. I am thrilled to say that I did not have one side effect. I played pickleball the day after for 90 min. Glad I decided to do it. Since I just had the infusion , I will not know results for another year Read More Read Less

I received my first dose of Reclast on September 21, 2023 and I have not felt any side effects.

I'm have Type 1 Diabetes and my blood sugars have been high since I received the Reclast infusion. Time of the day when my blood sugars are always normal after exercise, they are still high. I know it's not listed in the side effects, but maybe this side effect should be.

I am 44 went through Chemo at 32 needed to take Anastrazole which put me into Osteopenia now full blown Osteoporosis in my hip. My specialist recommended Reclast and after reading all the reviews I was freaked out and called her back we talked. What worked for me! I started Claritin 2 days before Tylenol the morning before drank lots of water and focused my foods on nothing processed (probably didn’t make a difference) we did a liter of fluid with it and dropped the medication in over an hour. My side effects consisted of night one- Fever/chills I rested at home that day. Night two- body aches. I did work that day Day 3 had nausea and bad #2. And boom just like that I felt fine. None of it was truly “severe” I felt tired and blah. But everything was very manageable for me. I wanted to share my experience so it wasn’t “all bad” hope this helps someone! Good luck! I look forward to my DEXA scan next year!Read More Read Less

After reading through many reviews, I almost decided to not receive the Reclast Infusion treatment. I talked to my Endocrinologist and my Internist and they both reviewed my medical history and highly recommended to have the Infusion. I found a few positive reviews that mentioned preparing in advance by hydrating, taking Claritin and Tylenol. My Doctor, nor the hospital told me any of this. I found a Physician that posted a review and followed exactly what she had done prior to her Infusion. I am SO happy to say it worked perfectly! I started by making sure I had taken my Calcium and Vit D every day for two weeks, then 2 days before I drank 64 ounces of water each day. I also took Claritin the day before my appointment, the day off and 2 days after my appointment. The morning of, I drank 16 ounces of water and took 2 Tylenol. I continued the Tylenol every 6 hours for 2 full days. I had no side effects at all! I was so thankful for those people who posted that a similar routine had helped them also. Do your homework and be prepared is my advice. I am hoping my bone density improves at my next scan! Read More Read Less

I had my first infusion on the 8/12 and on 8/13 I was in the ICU. My blood pressure dropped! I had a fever, vomiting headache. I then started with diarrhea, vomiting and nausea. I was dizzy and I could hardly stay awake. This was with-in hours of taking this medication Please if you’re thinking about this read all the reviews. I am still sick. I wish I would have researched before I was given this medicine. I hope your day is beautiful.

Received Reclast infusion, that night 103 fever, pain in my joints, so much pain trying to walk. This is recommended by an endocrinologist, when I called that morning I was told take Tylenol, Tylenol didn’t touch it, stay away from this medicine.

I took my infusion 2 years ago ended up in the ER with the worst bone pain I have ever experienced

I received Reclast July 28, 2023 at 11:00 am took Tylenol drank plenty of water before and after. Before bed I started feeling like someone trying to break every single bone in my body. I started shivering and I shivered for over 5 hours straight through the night. I used to walk 20-25k steps a day, now I can barely hit 4k. It's now August 30th. My arteries in my neck are killing me, my right side of my jaw hurts. I feel like someone burned my right foot. My right hip is in angony, it feels like my spine is being hit repeatedly and my ribs are being hit repeatedly by a baseball bat. My bpm went from resting of 52-56 to 45. My bpm was in the 40's while walking, my heart started skipping and thumping. I immediately reported to Rheumo and Primary. They put me on 14 day heart monitor. Saw Cardiologist. The pain is unbearable. I hope that this doesn't kill me, but I just turned 60 and in May I kayaked, climbed a mountain in Ireland, went hiking up mountains in Colorado & Arizona in June and now, I truly feel like I am dying. Reclast is more than poison, its feeling like a death sentence. Read More Read Less

I had to give a rating; however, It's still too early for me to give an assessment regarding this medication, but I will say this. Some years ago, I was advised that my bone density was low. Last year, in October of 2022, I fell and fractured my wrist which led to testing and osteoporosis diagnosis. On Tuesday I had reclast infusion. I was advised to take Tylenol, and drink plenty of water before and after procedure. That night, I was wiped out, but in no pain. The next afternoon, I started experiencing pain in my right knee when I walked. or bent my knee. When standing, I'm fine if I don't flex my leg at all. No pain while sitting. We'll see what happens.

I had this infusion on Thursday was nit well prepared about side effects. The next morning I woke up with a fever of 102.3 severe headache, excruciating bone pain down my back into my hip and couldn’t sit up or barely walk shortness of breathe and nauseous. I went to the emergency room was give steroids morphine anti nausea medicine and fluids. Two days later I feel better but still don’t know long term effects. Why isn’t there a class action suit against this drug?

First Reclast infusion 10 days ago. Did not do my homework as I should have and was given no instructions to drink water prior to or take Tylenol after.Ten hours after, chills, body aches, chest pain, bone pain, terrible eye pain, headache. Middle of third day symptoms subsided except unrelenting headache which has gotten progressively worse to migraine degree (without aura) everyday for 10 days now. Keeping ice on head all day praying for relief. Never again for me.

I was talked into receiving this drug November 2022. Apparently I was among the "low percentage of people" to have a negative reaction. It started out as flu like symptoms then advanced to full on body pain. It felt like my bones were braking including my jaw. Today, 6 months later it still feels like someone pushed and excelerator button on my arthritis. My life has been negatively impacted. The APRN has washed his hands of me. Where is the class action suit on this drug?????

I was given no information about preparation for this drug though I had asked about side effects. I started a 102-103 degree fever for 2.5 days and still have a low grade fever 9 days later. 5 days after my wrists were hurt and swollen. The next day my entire hands and one foot was the same. I had to go have my rings cut off today because of the pain and swelling. I think it’s getting better but I really think my health care providers could have prepared me to know to drink a lot prior to the infusion. I don’t know if it helped or not yet.Read More Read Less
