Hi, has anyone had zoletronic acid infusions, would be glad of some information please as I have to give a decision as to whether I start it in next few weeks.

think I may pass on it but would be grateful for any advice.

take care X

  • Hi Latchbrook

    Thats reassuring to hear as I have to decide next week I understand that we are all different.

    Thank you Xxx

  • What happens at the infusion appointment.

    I had a phone call yesterday giving me the date of my 1st one, 17th October m, no explanation of what happens etc all I know is what I've read on forums that the 1st one can give you flu type symptoms and the rest are fine, other than that I don't know anything.

  • My appointments are really simple.

    The nurse puts a cannula into the back of my hand and attaches the bag of Zometa which takes about 15 minutes to go in.

    They then flush through, which takes a few more minutes and it's all done.

    I've never had any side effects. 

    I hope yours all goes smoothly too.

  • Thank you. Do you have any bloods tests before?

    What hospital department do you go to for it?

  • Yes, I have to have bloods done about a week beforehand. I have them done at the phlebotomy department at the hospital but I could have them done at my GP surgery.

    The infusion is done at the Medical Day Unit.
