Re: Aclasta (Reclast) infusion tomorrow

Ellie i was first tried on Fosamax which upset my tummy so much I had to stop it, you take it once a week before tea/coffee or food and can't eat or lie down for almost an hour after it. My Onc suggested the zometa when I had issue's with this med and it suits me better, good luck with the Dexa and hopefully your bones are fine for now!!!

P.S Sorry I meant to say calcium and vitamins cant help if you pregress to Osteopenia/osteoporosis!
