anyone used it? i think it's an anti resorptive, in place of reclast,

and 6-monthly instead of annual

g.p then went on to say bisphosphonates (long term?) are harmful,

or won't suit my Mum's case?,

but i can't be trusted for this transcript

still need answers on what the plan is after forteo.

I've looked up zometa and it's a bisphosphonate infusion, it appears to be what we call zoledronic acid in the UK. The 6-monthly injection is Prolia (denosumab) and if she's been offered that, you need to be aware that if she stops it at any point she needs to go straight onto a bisphosphonate to reduce the risk of rebound fractures.

Not what you're looking for?
