Zometa & Lasix?
I had my first bone density test yesterday and it came back that I have osteopenia of the lumbar spine, the report goes on to say "degenerative changes are present which will artificially increase the measured bone mineral density." My onc wanted me to wait and get a follow up test in six months but I talked her into starting me on Zometa now (well, Aug 11, to be exact). I looked over the drug interactions and saw precautions regarding Lasix and Zometa. This concerns me since my onc didn't mention the possibility of contraindications. Is anyone else taking Lasix and receiving Zometa?
Any advice or input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
