Are there any positive reviews on Reclast infusion?

5 years ago•3 Replies

Hi! I am in the U.S. and have been diagnosed with Osteoporosis with -2.5 t score in my femoral neck and a -2.3 overall t score for my hip. My spine is okay. I have been prescribed the Reclast infusion as I have acid reflux and can't take pills. I am 70. I have done a lot of research and find so many negative reviews of this treatment. I have Parkinsons and already take a lot of medication and have a lot of pain. Can anyone tell me anything positive about this drug? (Zoledronic acid infusion). Thank you. I have already learned so much from this site.

Get all your teeth fixed before you take it. Pull any wisdom teeth that might be a problem in the future. A rare side effect cause serious problems with your jaw bone.

The Oral surgeon who pulled my wisdom tooth said that the bone in the jaw can die, time to grow new bone in the jaw.

Thanks for your reply. I think I’m going to put it off for awhile.

I just noticed your post. I have researched and written extensively on this subject:

According to a large epidemiological study Fosamax increases fracture risk. Other bisphosphonates may do the same.

Vitamins D and K and a couple of minerals improve bone strength, reduce fracture risk and prevent hardening of the arteries. In so doing they result in better outcomes than both bisphosphonates and statins.
