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)

 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

 5  bone metastesis from lung cancer The only side effect is I am tired and irritable sometimes after IV treatment. I also have severe osteoporosis. I have been getting the treatment once a month for 2 1/2 years, now reduced to every 6 weeks. I was given 1 year to live almost 3 years ago, so I am happy with the drug, I do take my calcium regularly, and the dr prescribed pottasium 3 times a day. F 55 2 years
