Zoledronic acid "My oncologist ordered this as a bone treatment. I was doing just fine without it. Now my legs are in pain, and I'm tired most of the time. I will NEVER take this crap again. It's a typical poison that America's corrupt pharmaceutical industry pushes on people. There are other, safer ways to get your damaged bones to absorb calcium. I have nothing but the most profound contempt for the makers of this product."

Zoledronic acid "I agree with other reviewers, you will experience all side effects listed. I have had 7 infusions (1 monthly) for 1 year. After infusion, I’m fine for a day. Usually, 1-2 weeks after, I will be extremely tired, with bloating and burning skin on abdomen. Side effects vary monthly."

Zoledronic acid "Went the day before Thanksgiving for my regular shots for my neuroendocrine tumors (NETs)/carcinoid syndrome with mets to liver. Nurse said a 'calcium drip' had been ordered. I figured it was a type of vitamin, although the nurse said some people get mild flu symptoms. I left 40 mins later, went home to a houseful of guests. (I'm the cook for record in our family) About 10:00 that night I felt like a ton of bricks had hit me! The chills, uncontrollable shaking, and violent vomiting began. Every bone and joint in my body ached. I'm now 4 days past treatment and I'm still just 'off.' I'm having trouble searching for words, forgetful, & inexplicably depressed. (sobbing for no reason?) I, too, like the previous post, am furious with my doctor. NEVER AGAIN."

Zoledronic acid "It was an easy IV for 15 minutes. Felt wonderful all day long. Hadn't felt that good in a very long time! Next day, so sick. Went right back to bed and was completely out all day long. Got up later that afternoon and felt fine from then on. Was given 4 ibuprofens before the IV."

Zoledronic acid "I had breast cancer in 2017 and chemotherapy and radiotherapy in 2018. I am now on zoledronic acid every 6 months for 3 years. I've had 3 now. The thing is, the right side of my tummy is swollen from just above my belly button and over to my right side. I've had a CT scan, and everything is fine. Bloods are fine. It swelled up after my 2nd one, and no one knows why."
