| 1 | osteoporosis | My mother-in-law took one dose of Reclast. She was never the same. She was in her 90's but was still active, driving her car and living independently. She slowly lost everything. She became unable to drive, had to use a walker, started loosing her teeth and then utlimately had a compound fracture of her femur. She is now in a nursing home. Thank you Reclast! | F | 93 | 1 years 1X AN | 6/7/2012 | 1 | osteoperosis | IN APRIL 2008 I WAS GIVEN A RECLAST INFUSION AND HAD NO PROBLEM UNTIL JUNE, WHEN FINGER RINGS WERE ADJUSTED, AND PRESSURE CAUSED BONE SPUR GROWTH TO THE PALM OF MY LEFT HAND. THE FINGERS ON BOTH MY HANDS ARE STIFF, ESPECIALLY MY MIDDLE FINGERS, AND CONTINUOUSLY STRETCH THEM FOR SOME RELIEF. GLUCOSOMINE CHONDROITEN , WHICH OBLITERATED ARTHRITIS PAIN AND OUTWARD SIGNS OF BONE PROTUBERANCES ARE NOW INEFFECTIVE. THIS DRUG, ADVERTISEDE BY NOVARTIS FOR OSTEOPOROSIS INADVERTENTLY HAS MADE BONE MORE BRITTLE, CAUSING TWO TOES TO BREAK. WHERE, BEFORE, THERE WAS NOT THAT MUCH PAIN TO MY BROKEN LEFT HIP AND BACK FRACTURES , FROM A SCALE OF 1-10, IT NOW IS A 9. IF THOUSANDS WERE TESTED FOR RECLAST, THEN ALL THOSE WITH ARTHRITIS MUST HAVE GOTTEN THE PLACEBO. WHAT WORRIES ME IS THE DEROGATORY LASTING EFFECT THIS DRUG WILL HAVE PAST THE YEAR ADVOCATED., | F | 82 | | 12/30/2008 | 1 | osteoporosis | I just found out I cannot have some teeth removed as my jaw bones will start to disintergrate. I take one infusion per year. | I was not informed about this side affect. It should be listed on the affects sheet. | F | 82 | 1X day | 12/12/2014 | 1 | Osteoporosis | Extreme, unbearable pain during the night | Do not take it! | F | 81 | 0 days 5 mg 1X O | 3/18/2023 | 5 | Osteoporosis | No side effects | Improvement in hips snd back | F | 80 | 5 years 1X O | 10/27/2020 | 1 | Sierra endocrine associate | All the BAD symptoms you can imagine 5 years ..... I'm having heart palpitations , it's driving me crazy!!! Will never do it again!! What can I do to feel better, get rid of heart !alpatations | I felt like I was going to die!!! What can be done??? Would vitamin c therapy help? I take 5000 units D 400 calcium & magnesium | F | 80 | 1 days ? | 11/23/2016 | 1 | Results of a dexiscan | I'm no longer taking this medication. Severe teeth problems , still have pain ( sharp at times )lose of vitamins D improving a bit but still on treatment for deficiency | I will never take another treatment I continue to have problems. medication did excessive damage to my bones. | F | 80 | 6 months Infusion 1X O | 3/12/2024 Patient History | 1 | OSTEOPOROSIS | death ( EXTREME PAIN , KIDNEY FAILURE, ATRIAL FIB. ) | Reclast killed my father 54 days after infusion. Before Reclast heathly male only taking one regular medication, after Reclast, horrible pain, began A Fib approx,2-3 weeks after infusion. This Drug should be taken off the market. Done much research after my father's death, and this drug is horrible, and offers no results. The drug appears to increase bone density, but dense bones DO NOT mean strong bones. Research this drug is a lie!!!! It is laundry detergent amd used in herbicides, do you really want this in your body??? Also once you take it there is no antidote or reversal. The ER doctors said that people were crazy for taking this drug.. They aren't crazy, just trusting. The Doctors and Drug Company Novartis should be called to task.. They are murderers in my opinion , all for the name and worship of money. I think their punishment should be an infusion of the poison that they are selling. | M | 80 | 54 days 1X day | 4/3/2011 | 1 | Osteopenia | 1st yr hand swelling & pain, 2nd year Prolia, no side effects, 3rd yr Reclast again, tired, aching neck and back of skull. Badly swelled painful hands. | I decided to give Reclast a 2nd chance. Next day I was over tired and slightly achy. No big deal, BUT now one week later and my neck & back of my skull were extremely painful and my hands are swollen and my fingers are very painful.. I will never use Reclast again. | F | 78 | 2 years ? 1X O | 3/29/2015 | 1 | osteoporosis | Now I have a persistant cough and it hurts when I breath deeply. It's a pain that sometimes goes from my chest to my neck and into my ear, and once it lasted all day.

Live normally | Worst thing I ever did | F | 78 | 0 days ? 1X O | 5/22/2021 | 1 | Osteoporosis | Had chills, body aches, fever for 2 days. Went away for 2 days then same symptoms returned. Left with severe headache & neck pain. After two weeks had CT scan & diagnosed with subdural hematoma. Dr says it's not related to Reclast but it's too much of a coincidence. | I'm usually a very active person. I bike ride, hike or walk daily. This medication is poison. Do not take. | F | 78 | 1 times 5mg 1X O | 2/21/2022 | 1 | osteoporosis | My wife was infused friday @ 2:30 pm. Friday night she had extreme muscle aches, chest pain, nausea , vomiting and urine incontinence. Saturday no better. Sunday emergency room. Very weak couldn't stand vomiting aches and taste of metal in her mouth. The hospital did a complete work also her BP was 220/ 98. All vitals were good and sent home. What a scare. I didn't mention she is 77 years old. Still in rough shape Monday. We hope this will pass. | This has to be the worst drug on the market. BE AWARE of what you're getting yourself into. The Doc's should WARN everyone of the side effects. Do a internet search and you will see the reviews for yourself. | F | 77 | 1 times 5mg 1X day | 11/13/2023 | 1 | Paget's disease | Feel terrible, neck pain so bad I can't move it, swollen and painful thumb joint. | DO NOT TAKE THIS MEDICINE...IT IS LIKE PUTTING POISON IN YOUR SYSTEM. I wish I had followed the advice that I saw on the computer and not taken it. Dr said I would only have flu like symptoms for 2-3 days. | F | 77 | 1 days ? 1X day | 5/11/2015 | 1 | Osteoporis | Initially I did not have any side effects but several weeks after the infusion I started to have pain in my neck, right lumbar region of my back and hips. I also have kidney issues which I believe are related to Reclast. | I would not recommend taking this drug | M | 77 | 1X O | 7/27/2015 | 1 | osteo | Pain lots of pain within 12 hours of infusion, fever 104 12 hrs after for almost 3 weeks, cold , afib heart,blood pressure way up, heart rate and blood pressure way up could not get it under control ,neck pain, back pain and knee pain, in hospital for3- 4 days home for two days back to hospital for nine days still with 103-104 fever | F | 76 | 1 days 1X O | 3/18/2014 | 1 | To strengthen bones | Severe joint pain started less than 12 hours after my mother's one and only IV of Reclast.

Bad insomnia. Unable to sleep at all. | DON'T take it, especially if you're prone to insomnia like me. The doctor told me nothing about this, nothing about side effects, didn't tell me to hydrate which apparently is what you have to do. Don't know when I'll be able to sleep again. | F | 76 | 3 days 1X O | 12/3/2020 | 1 | Osteoporosis, post menopause, low d | Within 12 hrs. Extreme pain, uncontrollable muscle spasms, nausea fever, now it's been, 2 days since infusion pain continues, large muscle groups and joints hurt the most.severe neck pain, jaw pain.even my teeth hurt | Had the same problem with fosamax after 1pill. Told the Dr. And she prescribed Reclast in spite of what I told her.. I should have known better, research carefully before using. For me never again. | F | 75 | 1 days 5mg 1X day | 12/22/2022 | 1 | osteoporosis | I have not felt good since the infusion; tingling/numbing on face, hands and feet and fatigue. | I view Reclast as poison and have warned my friends not to take this drug. I am trying holistically to get the effects out of my system but so far no luck. | F | 75 | 72 days 1X day | 3/29/2017 |
RECLAST (ZOLEDRONIC ACID): This medication is used to treat a certain type of bone disease (Paget's disease) that causes abnormal and weak bones. Zoledronic acid is also used to treat bone loss (osteoporosis) in men and in women after menopause. It may also be used to treat or prevent osteoporosis in people who are taking corticosteroid medications (such as prednisone) for long periods. It works by slowing the breakdown of bone and keeping bones strong. It also helps to reduce the risk of broken bones (fractures). This medication belongs to a class of drugs known as bisphosphonates. Another zoledronic acid product is used to treat bone problems that may occur with cancer. The 2 products should not be used together. (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)
