Bisphosphonates - side effects

Hi, I have been taking it for 3 months, with no problems.  I take it daily, and wait 30 mins, get jobs done etc, then have breakfast. Breast care nurse says30 mins is OK, rather than the 1 journey stated on the packet. 

Sorry,  should say 1 hour on packet.

Hi zephyr 

Im due no 6 infusion in June ..hopefully my last one .. 6  monthly  x 6.  seemed like a long time but hasn’t been too bad .

SE I’ve experienced are feeling fluey for couple of days ie achy and tired . Also some sinus like pain in gums but after first week it settles down . 

After EC chemo it was a doddle  

Hi zephyr

I’ve had four or five infusions so far, and haven’t noticed any side effects. As you may have been told already, it’s best to get a dental check-up before you start, as invasive dental treatment (eg root canal) is best avoided while you’re on bisphosphonates.  My unit wanted a letter from my dentist before I started, confirming that my teeth were in decent condition. Best of luck x

Thank you x
