Reclast Infusion: New Treatment, Old Story
…ory Here are some things you may not have thought about in connection with Reclast infusion, this new treatment with an old story. Reclast stays in your system for at least a year (hence the annual treatment). This means that you’re stuck with the drug and its side effects for as long as it’s in your system. If you experience unpleasant side effects, there’s no way to stop taking Reclast; it’s in your body for a year, doing its damage. Renal failu…

Negative Side Effects Of Reclast
…d kidney damage, as I discussed in this post: ‘Alert: New Life-Threatening Reclast Side Effects’. And finally, Reclast was the first osteoporosis drug to be given by infusion, meaning it’s administered directly into the bloodstream once a year. From another angle, Reclast is not the first osteoporosis drug to induce negative side effects. In fact, most of these drugs, particularly the bisphosphonates, are essentially the same. Yet the drug compani…

ALERT: Reclast And Kidney Failure
…e side effect, new risk guidelines to screen patients before administering Reclast have been established “to reduce the likelihood of adverse events occurring and help ensure the safe use of Reclast.”1 Notice that the word “reduce” is used instead of “eliminate”.

ALERT: New Life-Threatening Reclast Side Effects
…o demand that new warnings be placed on the drug’s label. As I wrote in my Reclast review, the most commonly reported Reclast side effects are fever, muscle, joint and bone pain, flu-like symptoms, and fever. And I also explain how it can cause osteonecrosis of the jaw and its horrific consequences. But these pale in comparison to the new concern.

…stopping Fosamax over a year ago. I appreciate any and all information on Reclast. -Betsy Dear Betsy, Reclast is a intravenous infusion of a bisphosphonate drug thus replacing the typical osteoporosis tablets. Because oral bisphosphonates can cause many digestive problems, the intravenous delivery drug avoids this problem. But the method of action is the same; it alters normal bone metabolism. You can read about bisphosphonates, and in particular…

…n: like Fosamax,(which you’ve already taken without any positive results), Reclast is a bisphosphonate drug, except that it is given intravenously. So why would Reclast help you? Now back to your question. There could be cases when the program may not help increase bone density. That’s because there’s a lot involved in each individual metabolic bone process, such as if someone has taken osteoporosis drugs in the past, digestive issues, drugs that…

…fects of IV administered zoledronate (a bisphosphonate sold under the name Reclast) on 2000 women aged 65 or older with a bone mineral density T-score of -1 to -2.5, the zone designated as osteopenia.3 The label osteopenia describes an increased risk of osteoporosis, which is an increased risk of fracture, making osteopenia a risk of a risk.

Save Our Bones Bulletin: Reclast Proven Ineffective, Potential New Class Of Osteoarthritis Drugs, Running One Minute A Day Increases Bone Density, And More
A new study has shown that an infusion of the bisphosphonate Reclast (zoledronate), prescribed as a stand-alone osteoporosis treatment and to offset the rapid bone loss that occurs after stopping treatment with Prolia (denosumab), doesn’t help to preserve bone mineral density. Savers know that osteoporosis drugs are neither effective nor safe, yet doctors continue to prescribe them in spite of studies like the one we’ll review today. Meanwhile, B…
