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  pagets Already reviewed 9 months ago under pagets - 69 yrs old. Do not take. I am now 70 and I have not felt right since I took it. Aside from the fever,wrist pain, I have been clearing my throat and had a dry cough for 9 months since I have had this infusion. I mean constantly,every few seconds.Have been to ENT and had 3 proceedures since then . I go in for Endoscopy next week. No Drs have an answer. My life is now miserable . I can't be with other people because of the constant throat clearing. I am hoping that in time this drug will leave my body and let me live in peace again. M 70 1 days

 1  Prevent bone loss DO NOT TAKE THIS POISON. Horrible pain the first week, then 2 cracked teeth due to initial blast into my system. 1 dosage amount for everyone= Not good. I would like an antidote for garbage like this. Long lasting drugs, no good, please beware! Well, I am only a few weeks in, and already cracked teeth and root. Horrible flu like symptoms. These long lasting drugs are trash. Find it hard to understand how same dosage for all weights? Well, it certainly shocked me too much. F 56 21 days

 4  Diagnosed with osteoporosis I read about this drug quite a bit and was scared to take it at first. After taking Fosamax and osteoporosis worsening there was no option but to try something new. After the first injection in 2011 I noticed some side effects only a few months later. I did not have any immediate side effects possibly because I drank a lot of water before, during and after the injection. My main concerns were hair loss, nails breaking down and flaking, decreased libido & jaw pain after freezing. After the first year I didn't want to have another injection. My osteoporosis worsened even more in the following 4 years so back on Reclast in 2015 and 2016 and am due for another injection. I researched other medications like Prolia and am scared to take it because of all the horror stories so here I am back on this medication. Its better the devil you know then one you don't. I will let you know how it goes this time around. I noticed muscle loss but was not sure if it was due to this medication or n F 62 2 years

 1  Due to take Have not taken this drug as of this writing. Just to says thanks I am a female age 71. Due to take infusion tomorrow after a call today. Started reading side effects reviews. I want to thank all sites for info n comments. I live alone, no family what would I do if a side effect went beyond flu like for a few days. This drug should really be classified at high risk. I am trying to reach my pulmonologist and or go also the dr who I'd prescribing treatment. I have moderate to severe cold, bad reflux, joint pain n due to see cardio this week for other reasons thank all for input. I will work this out to all who have suffered I pray all will be well for you again God Bless F 71 1 days
