I am a white 62 year old woman andI have received Reclast IV for 3 or 4 years with no side effects. Before Reclast I received IV Zometa for probably five years. I expected side effects because it seems as if whatever medication I take, I get bad side effects. But nothing. I actually feel better after receiving Reclast.

I have had 3 infusions with absolutely no side effects. Highly recommend this treatment over oral bisphosphonates or the nasal spray - both of which caused significant side effects over time.
