User Reviews for Zometa intravenous

I have had no side effects and have been taking it for over 3 years. I have been cancer free for over 2 y ears.

I had my first infusion of Zometa three days ago. Spiked a fever day two, severe bone, joint, muscle pain day three, less morning of day four. I hope this works. I can't live on tylenol extra strength.

no side effects

I have taken Zometa only once. The side effects wewre terrrible including chills, fever, flu like symptoms for two days, pain in my hands, feet, and hips that so far have lasted for 10 days. Dring this period I was unable to use my hands for about one day, unable to wear shoes for two days and I am still having difficulty walking after 10 days. I wonder when the side effects will end. In my opinion, this is an awful drug. Any possible benefits are not worth the consequences.

Had the infusion in March 09 after having a painful wedge fracture a few months earlier. I can not tolerate the oral meds because of osephageal, heart burn problems. I reseached all I could .. the most important finding for me was to Drink Plenty of Water.. before and after. I also drank during the infusion. I was given 2 Panadol straight after and continued taking these every 4 hours for the next 3 days. I had only minimal flu like symptoms and was a bit tired. I will definatly continue next year.My fracture is still causing pain. Read More Read Less

i do not have any side effects. easy to take all i have to do is sit for about 20 minutes then i am able to leave by myself.

I have only had 1 treatment. First day was fine, second day had chills and stiffness in muscles, flu like symptoms. Third day I woke up with a horrible pain in the left side of my head that seems to travel down to my neck, I've had that pain all day for 4 days now, I'm starting to believe it is from jaw pain I am starting to feel. I am only recieving the drug every 6 months so benefits outweigh discomfort.

12 hours after my first treatment I developed fever to 103 that lasted 4 days, rigors, myalgias, parasthesias, muscle & joint pain. I vomited one whole day. The 5th day I was terribly weak & dehydrated. I was taking it to prevent bone mets from my Breast Cancer.

I've had 16 treatments so far and have had no side effects and has kept my mutiple myeloma in remission. I'm still taking the drug.

Started Zometa 2-3 years ago, it did a lot for bone fracture I had, from mataisis cancer. Now using it for Osteoprosis

The minute that this drug was injected into my Dad, he began seeing things that weren't there. Since the first and only dose, he can no longer urinate on his own and he has to have a urinary catheter. The MD's say it's not because of the drug, but I feel it is. I am an RN.

I took IV zometa once a month for about 14 months, now I am doing it 1 out of every 3 months. I think it helped alot, I have alot more aches now that I'm not taking it every month.

I have breast cancer in my bones. I took zometa every month for 16 months, then every 3 months. My cancer has not moved in almost 5 years. Very few side effects, just drink plenty of water after IV.

no side effects

Zometa has helped reduced my bone pain and it is easily administered with minimal side effects.

I RECEIVED MY MEDICARE ART A FORM TODAY AND FOUND OUT THAT THE ZOMETA INFUSION I WAS PRESCRIBED WAS ACTUALLY RECLAST. I TOOK IT IN AN INFUSION AND DID NOT FEEL MANY CHANGES, BUT AS TIME WENT ON, I FOUND MYSELF VERY ILL FROM ANOTHER CONDITION, FIRST FROM FATIGUE, THEN MORE SERIOUS AND UNCOMFORTABLE SYMPTOMS. I DO NOT KNOW IF THIS IS BECAUSE IT WAS RECLAST (PERHAPS GIVEN BY MISTAKE) OR I AM SUFFERING FOR A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT REASON.

I have metatasic breast cancer. 24 hrs after my first session was uncomfortable. Flu-like symptoms and muscle/bone ache. every session after that became easier. Now I take Zometa only with Herceptin (by port) and I have little to no side effects beyond being a little tired the day I receive treatment.

I had flu like symptoms (fever, aches, dizzy) for a couple of days after the infusion. I have a little jaw pain today and have called the doctor about it. I don't know if it is related to the Zometa but the doctor said to call if there was any jaw pain.
