"I had my first Aclasta infusion in 2007 at age 54, with subsequent infusions at 2 and 3 year intervals, with my sixth treatment just yesterday. I have never suffered any side effects and have benefited from BMD readings within the osteopenic range. An added benefit has been the less frequent attendance at medical clinics than if I had been treated with Prolia (typically administered six monthly) - a happy recipient of this medication."

"My specialist prescribed Aclasta for three years, then decided to keep it going for at least another year. I find increasingly a stiffness with performing yoga and definite lower-level flexibility, but because exercise is important, I do what I can. Suffice to say, I no longer enjoy my exercise routine. Seriously considering no more Aclasta."

"I had an Aclasta infusion in July this year with flu-like side effects of muscle and bone aches and pains, dizziness, and difficulty concentrating for about 4 days. After that, I felt fine. More recently, I find I am consistently sore every morning, with bone pain over most of my body, but particularly in the sites of old injuries. The pain and discomfort abate with movement, so I can live with it. I’m hoping the Aclasta has good results."

"I share my experience with the benefits of the medication Aclasta. My mom is currently 75 years old. Five years ago, she had a fall and suffered injuries to her back. Due to the time lost in taking her to a specialist, she could not have surgery because of other conditions such as Parkinson's disease and osteoporosis. The neurologist recommended administering this medication intravenously once a year. He explained that it would be administered slowly, but I don't remember approximately how many hours the application would take. He explained in detail that for my mom, this medication would slow down the wear and tear on her bones and avoid any fractures. The wear and tear on bones is inevitable, but that Aclasta would help a lot in making that wear and tear slower. It has been three consecutive years that she has received it, and thank God it has helped her a lot. She has not had any reactions because the person who administers it pays attention to ensure that the dripping is slow."

"I had this infusion four days ago with quite some trepidation discovering I had severe gum disease beforehand (this is not a good pairing). Anyhow, I had read that slowing the pace of the infusion could help reduce any side effects and also being well hydrated. Did both. I just asked the practitioner to slow it down. Anyhow, I was fine about 10 pm that night when I had the very worst chills. Nothing could warm me or make it go away. My joints also ached: wrists and lower back the most. This lasted only about 24 hours. Unpleasant but short-lived. Next year, I will be ready and have nothing planned for the following day or two. Boy, did my back hurt. But it's gone. No ongoing symptoms. I am 64, not that fit, but osteoporosis following anastrazole for breast cancer."

"Lots of bone aching all over my body, including teeth. One week after the first infusion, I couldn't lift my arms."

"Heart missing beats. Lasted 4 months. Not pleasant. Improved my bone density."
