You need to treat the osteoporosis Radar, just make sure your medical team have considered all the options and effectively monitor you while you are being treated.

Hi there

I had my first infusion of Zoledronic Acid (for preventative purposes) in September and am having my second (6 monthly) in a couple of weeks. I felt fine afterwards. Good luck.

I have been having them every 28 days for nearly 16 months. Key is to drink lots of water the day on infusion and have paracetamol every 4 hours beforehand and day after. The infusion is administered over 10 mins with a 10 min flush afterwards. After my first treatment I suffered with bad bone pain and flu like symptoms, spoke with clatterbridge who told me to have infusion over longer period, slower it enters your system less side effects. I had it 28 days later over 30 mins with 10 min flush and was much much better. Then time has come down as my body has adjusted, I had my last last Thursday 15 min infusion 10 min flush. Take care and good luck x

What do you mean when you say "It's rated 4 out of 10"? Rated by whom and for what?

Cheers,

Chris
