For Osteoporosis "I am a 24-year-old female runner with osteopenia, and after sustaining a stress fracture in my femoral neck, my specialists suggested an Aclasta infusion. I felt fine the afternoon after the infusion, however, at about 12 am that night, I was woken by severe stomach cramping. When I tried to get out of bed, I had the most intense migraine and nausea, I eventually passed out. I was then bedridden and slept for 40 hours straight, waking every 4 hours to take more pain relief. I even needed oxycodone, the pain was that bad. These severe symptoms eased after 48 hours. However, 1 week before my infusion, I dislocated my right patella, and so it blew up with swelling and pain, and I couldn’t walk, meaning I had to spend the next three days in bed and off work. I couldn’t believe a treatment of this time could have such grotesque side effects, it was honestly a horrific and borderline traumatic experience. I think people should really consider the benefits of an Aclasta infusion before going ahead with it."

For Osteoporosis "Had an infusion of Aclasta 10 days ago. Had been diagnosed with a compression fracture of the spine a week prior. I wasn't really advised of adverse reactions and only told I would benefit due to a very low bone score. Had hyperparathyroidism which caused the osteoporosis. After Aclasta, I had side effects of a severe dizzy spell on day 2 and could not stand up, it lasted for two days. I also had nausea and a mild headache. After one week, severe pain in both wrists, could not hold anything, lasted for three days. I have pain in my jaw and eyelids. It is mild but constant. Hope all will come right shortly. I feel tired and slightly achy every day. Hope benefits outweigh side effects."

For Osteoporosis "Had an Aclasta infusion in June 2018, and I am still having adverse reactions. These are severe shivers, sweats, extreme tiredness, severe itching, loss of appetite, and nausea. Immediately after the infusion, I was unable to get out of bed for three days and had severe backaches. I have read that it can take up to 24 months to get it out of your system. I have gone past that time frame and am still suffering. I am so over it and will NEVER EVER have another infusion."

For Osteoporosis "Received 1st dose on Monday at 9:30 a.m. Felt okay, a bit tired in the afternoon. However, at around 9:00 p.m., pains in my sternum started. I took Panadol as advised, went to bed. By midnight, I was shivering and shaking and ached all over, then intense pain set in, in my sternum and left breast and arm. I could hardly breathe and seated, coughing. Temperature rose to 40 and severe sweats. More Panadol, which did nothing. Pain worsened and could hardly walk. In the morning, I phoned the lady who administered Aclasta, who said it was all normal and could subside in a day or two. Phoned my doctor, who sent me straight to the hospital, where I spent the next 12 hours on pain relief, a drip, and tests for suspected blood clots, thankfully none. I was kept until my temperature dropped and my blood pressure (190/98) returned to its usual 130/75. Day 3, sternum pain has lessened to bearable, right arm still very painful, as is my back. Very tired and nauseous. I wish I had read these reviews."
