Re: how many of you are getting Zometa?

Hi Sassy,
Like you I have osteopenia - had been on Actonel.
Dr. and I discussed zometa and he advised Reclasp
which I had one treatment. I had noticed lately that
many are having 2 treatments per year have not read the latest studies regarding 2x per year.

My insurance has been wonderful and I have not made request for 2nd treatment yet...dr. feels the one year should be fine.

Sassy do you have any information on this I could read and bring into my dr. I will do some searching also.
I had the feeling that the dr. wanted 2x per year but then said one would be fine because of insurance.

Thank you for sharing...
Jean
