Zoledronic acid infusion this week first one

Hi c22

You'll be able to drive after you've had your infusion.  I had mild flu like symptoms the day after but they only lasted for the day.

Best of luck with it.

Hi c22 

I don't drive but that's only because it can be difficult to find parking places at my hospital.

I was fine the next day.

It only takes about 15 minutes for the acid infusion to go in and then a few more minutes afterwards for the flush to go through. If the nurse starts as soon as I take a chair, and they don't have any problems finding a vein, then I can be in and out in about half an hour. The thing that takes the longest is waiting for the dispensary to get my 6 months of Adcal tablets prepared!

Hi, I've had 5 infusions now, only the first I had side effects, about 12 hours after the infusion.

All the others I have been fine. I get a lift just in case though, but in reality have always felt OK straight afterwards 

Doesn't take long to run the infusion through, my veins aren't great so can be a faff.

Hope it goes well. X

Thankyou guys very reassuring 

not super worried but not loving the whole reminder of what’s happened!! 

Hi c22, I had my first zoledronic acid infusion in August. I felt fine on the day, but did have flu like symptoms the following day. It only lasted for one day and I was then back to normal. Xx
